How to generate downloadable Nios II cpu ?

Started by fl November 14, 2008
Hi,
We have Quartus II 7.2 subscription edition software. Although it is
claimed that it supports Nios II cpu, I cannot
generate downloadable .sof file for my first Nios project.The
following message pop up at the last compiler process(EDA netlist
generation). Could you tell me what is wrong here? Thanks.








Error: Can't generate netlist output files because the file "C:/altera/
72/qdesigns/sopc0/cpu.vhd" is an OpenCore Plus time-limited file

I find at the Tool/Option/License Setup dialog box, no Nios II listed besides FIR Compiler, Numerically Controlled Oscillator, SDRAM. etc. Nios II support is separate sold? Thanks,

Yes, The Nios II needs a separate license.
