hello ! I use the software sopc builder to use the Ethernet port (the dveloppement board altera is FPGA : cyclone II EP2C35F672C6)  

 

I wish to use the Ethernet port between my board altera and the PC to transmit data  

 

in SOPC I add peripheral CPU_0, jag_uart_0, ssram_0, tri_state_bridge, timer_0, DMA_0 and lan91c111 for generate component. but while the software generate, one indicates to me  

 

2006.04.24 17:29:18 (*) Running Generator Program for cpu_0# 2006.04.24 17:29:19 (*) IP functional simulation model enabled: Uncheck System Generation Simulation box for faster generation if HDL Simulation not required.# 2006.04.24 17:29:22 (*) Checking for plaintext license.# 2006.04.24 17:29:23 (*) Plaintext license not found.# 2006.04.24 17:29:23 (*) Checking for encrypted license (non-evaluation).# 2006.04.24 17:29:23 (*) Encrypted license not found. Defaulting to OCP evaluation license (produces a time-limited SOF) 

 

warning color yellow : was generated as a time-limited OpenCore Plus module and will time-out unless compiled in Quartus II with a valid license. 

 

 

my licence quartus II is valid until septembre 2006.  

why me genere it a file with A time-limited SOF ?? http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif  

 

SUCCESS: SYSTEM GENERATION COMPLETED. 

 

in quartus my component is ok but when I want to establish the program in the cyclone  

a message : file ethernet time limited_sof contains one or more time limited megafonction that support the opencore plus features that will not work after the hardware evaluation times expired. 

 

how to make? how to remove this time limited?  

have I to forget thing to use the Ethernet port? how to make to generate correctly? thank you for your assistance and regards

Hello greg07, 

 

For generating a non time limited sof file you need a license for Nios II. The license for Quartus is not enough.
