Synthesize NIOS II with different .qsf and no time_limited

Hi, We are 100% new to Quartus (and FPGA in general). I have a project (the DE1-SoC Computer System that comes by default with the University Program when using NIOS II), that I would like only to...

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.


Unfortunately, the DE1_SoC_Computer project is a default design example, you can only use the Nios II/e core to avoid the time_limited part as stated from the manual.


Yes, the Nios II/e core will have some floating point limitations, but you may change the core to a fast core for other projects you wish to compile.


I have attached a screenshot on the NIOS II processors (e and f) for your reference where you are able to change.


Hope this clarify your doubts.


Thank you.


Regards,

Kelly

    Hi,

    Attached here is a screenshot on how to change the cores to fast or economy for the DE1 SoC based on your project needs after you have selected NIOS II processor on Platform Designer:

    Thank you.
