the conflict between signaltap and time limited .sof file

Hi,

I was using a 8b10b IPCore to test a project, I have not a license, so I have to use timelimited .sof file for study. But I have accounted a serious problem. When I download the .sof file into the DE2 board, the timelimited word balloon was on the toppest of my PC screen, and I can't use the signaltap. I have tried several methods, I could click the button of run in signaltap, but it didnot response me at all.

I wil appreciate your help very much, thanks!

    Another option is to configure the FPGA from the NIOS II command shell using the nios2-configure-sof command.
