Software Installation
■ The following software is required to create hardware description
language (HDL) designs that use blocks from DSP Builder:
● MATLAB version 7.0.1
● Simulink version 6.1
DSP Builder provides automated flows using Tcl scripts as well as a
manual flow (see the DSP Builder User Guide for a description of these
flows). In addition to Quartus II integrated synthesis, the automated
flow also supports Mentor Graphics
® ModelSim ® -Altera, ModelSim
PE, or ModelSim SE version 5.8d.
■ You need your network identification card (NIC) for licensing the
Quartus II software.
1
Your NIC ID is a 12-digit hexadecimal number that
identifies the Windows NT workstation that serves
Quartus II licenses. Networked (or floating node) licensing
requires a NIC ID or server host ID. When obtaining a
license file for network licensing, you should use the NIC
ID from the PC that will issue the Quartus II licenses to
distributed users over a network. You can find the NIC ID
for your card by typing ipconfig /all at a command
prompt. Your NIC ID is the number on the physical address
line, without the dashes.
