8 years ago --- Quote Start --- I can try a different machine. However, the issue is that for the Altera SDK I got floating licence, while for the nallatech BSP the license is binded with the MAC address of that machine. --- Quote End --- Nallatech's BSP license is only for installation of the BSP, it does not bind the BSP to the machine (Altera does not even provide the possibility to do so). After installation, you can copy the BSP folder to any other machine and use it. Though they probably want you to think that you cannot do this. ;) --- Quote Start --- I am currently using CentOS 7.4 which is a supported OS for compilation and runtime according to nallatech. Do you think an other OS might be more stable for the current work-flow? Any suggestions? --- Quote End --- I have used CentOS v7.x for compilation of kernels for Nallatech's 385A board using different BSPs (16.0.2, 16.1.2, 17.1) and never encountered any OS-related problems. Apart from that, as you said, Nallatech's PCI-E driver officially supports CentOS v7.x starting from BSP v17.0, so that should also be fine.
