Cannot generate an RSU image with encrypted source code for Agilex7

[DavidGG]

Hello,

I have delivered an encrypted IP to my customer using Altera ampcrypt6 and amplic6 tools using the following command lines:

./amplic6.exe -3 -c -sp 7 -o license_tc5550_3.txt -h any -v 2025.01 -r -f 10000000000 -a -e -m -k 78…F -p 5550

./ampcrypt6.exe -3 -c -i tc5550.syn.vhd -l tc5550 -f 10000000000 -o tc5550.protect3.vhd -sp 7 -v 2025.01 -k 78…F -a -e -m -p 5550

He is able to perform compilation and generating a .sof file for jtagging.

However when he tries to generate an persitent RSU image there is an error message reported by Quartus Prime (see attached the log)

Is there something wrong with the encryption ?

Hi

From the error log, this could be fix if you could generate it without the use of an evaluation license.

Hi Jingyang,
Thanks for your response.
Which option let you think I generated an evaluation license ?
I've selected the option to generate a permanent license with all rights on Agilex7. We have genarated many licenses this way and never received a feedback that there is an issue.

Is there an option I should change ?

Regards,

David

Hi

The line below indicates that you are using a evaluation license.

Info (210040): SRAM Object File output_files/ofs_top.sof contains time-limited IP that supports Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode feature -- Vendor: 0x6AF7, Product: 0xFFFF

If it is possible try taking a look the license file you create if there is this line like the screenshot below:

If you see it is writing Evaluation License then it is not a permanent license.
