This chapter provides a general overview of the Altera IP core design flow to help you quickly get started
with the DisplayPort IP core. The IP core is installed as part of the Quartus II installation process. You can
select and parameterize any Altera IP core from the library. Altera provides an integrated parameter
editor that allows you to customize the DisplayPort IP core to support a wide variety of applications. The
parameter editor guides you through the setting of parameter values and selection of optional ports.
Installing and Licensing IP Cores
The Altera IP Library provides many useful IP core functions for your production use without purchasing
an additional license. Some Altera MegaCore IP functions require that you purchase a separate license for
production use. However, the OpenCore
®
feature allows evaluation of any Altera IP core in simulation
and compilation in the Quartus II software. After you are satisfied with functionality and perfformance,
visit the Self Service Licensing Center to obtain a license number for any Altera product.
