Preliminary
OpenCore Plus Evaluation
With Altera’s free OpenCore Plus evaluation feature, you can perform the following
actions:
■
Simulate the behavior of a megafunction (Altera MegaCore function or AMPP
SM
megafunction) within your system.
■
Verify the functionality of your design, as well as evaluate its size and speed
quickly and easily.
■
Generate time-limited device programming files for designs that include
megafunctions.
■
Program a device and verify your design in hardware.
You only need to purchase a license for the megafunction when you are completely
satisfied with its functionality and performance, and want to take your design to
production.
After you purchase a license for CRC Compiler MegaCore function, you can request a
license file from the Altera website at www.altera.com/licensing and install it on your
computer. When you request a license file, Altera emails you a license.dat file. If you
do not have Internet access, contact your local Altera representative.

Plus hardware evaluation supports the following two operation modes:
■
Untethered—the design runs for a limited time.
■
Tethered—requires a connection between your board and the host computer. If
tethered mode is supported by all megafunctions in a design, the device can
operate for a longer time or indefinitely.
