QDRII SRAM Controller MegaCore Function User Guide

Getting Started

Program a
Device

After you have compiled the example design, you can perform gate-level
simulation (refer to

“Simulate the Example Design” on page 2–11

) or

program your targeted Altera device to verify the example design in
hardware.

With Altera's free OpenCore Plus evaluation feature, you can evaluate the
QDRII SRAM Controller MegaCore function before you obtain a license.
OpenCore Plus evaluation allows you to generate an IP functional
simulation model, and produce a time-limited programming file.

f

For more information on OpenCore Plus hardware evaluation using the
QDRII SRAM Controller MegaCore function, refer to

“OpenCore Plus

Evaluation” on page 1–3

,

“OpenCore Plus Time-Out Behavior” on

page 3–10

, and

AN 320: OpenCore Plus Evaluation of Megafunctions

.

Implement Your
Design

To implement your design based on the example design, replace the
example driver in the example design with your own logic.

Set Up Licensing

You need to obtain a license for the MegaCore function only when you are
completely satisfied with its functionality and performance, and want to
take your design to production.

After you obtain a license for QDRII SRAM Controller, you can request a
license file from the Altera web site 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.
