17 years agoEncrypting design files for rather trivial functions as the said SSRAMController.v is actually annoying. Apparently this isn't Altera politics but related to the Terasic ownership of some components. Altera supplies most design files and Megafunctions as plain text, except for some complex IP and some libraries that play a specific role in IP protection.
Hiding components that could be instructive otherwise effectively invalidates the example designs. If I understand right, there has been a discusion, that more Dev. Kits should be originated from Altera if possible. The said example design seems to emphasize these considerations.
