Installation and Licensing
To evaluate the SDI II IP core using the OpenCore Plus feature, follow these steps in your design flow:
1. Install the SDI II IP core.
2. Create a custom variation of the SDI II IP core.
3. Implement the rest of your design using the design entry method of your choice.
4. Use the IP functional simulation model to verify the operation of your design.
5. Compile your design in the Quartus II software. You can also generate an OpenCore Plus time-limited
programming file, which you can use to verify the operation of your design in hardware.
Note: For more information on IP functional simulation models, refer to the Simulating Altera Designs
chapter in volume 3 of the Quartus II Handbook.
The default installation directory for the SDI II IP core on Windows is c:\altera\<version>; on Linux, it is /
opt/ altera<version>.
You can obtain a license for the IP core only when you are completely satisfied with its functionality and
performance, and want to take your design to production. After you purchase a license for the SDI II IP
core, follow these steps:
1. Set up licensing.
2. Generate a programming file for the Altera device or devices on your board.
3. Program the Altera device or devices with the completed design.
