User Guide
Altera verifies that the current version of the Quartus II software compiles the
previous version of each Altera IP core. Any exceptions to this verification are
reported in the
MegaCore IP Library Release Notes and Errata . Altera does not verify
compilation with IP core versions older than the previous release.
Installation and Licensing
The CPRI IP core is part of the MegaCore IP Library, which is distributed with the
Quartus II software. The combined software is downloadable from the Altera website,
www.altera.com .
Figure 1–3 shows the directory structure after you install the CPRI IP core, where
< path > is the installation directory. The default installation directory on Windows is
C:\altera\< version number>; on Linux it is /opt/altera<version number>.
You can use Altera’s free OpenCore Plus evaluation feature to evaluate the CPRI IP
core in simulation and in hardware before you purchase a license. You must purchase
a license for the CPRI IP core only when you are satisfied with its functionality and
performance, and you want to take your design to production.
After you purchase a license for the CPRI IP core, 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.
