PCI Compiler with SOPC Builder Flow Design Walkthrough
After you have purchased a license for the PCI MegaCore function, the
design flow requires the following additional steps:
1. Set up licensing.
2. Generate a programming file for the Altera device(s) on your board.
3. Program the Altera device(s) with the completed design.
4. Complete system verification.
Altera MegaCore functions, including PCI Compiler, can be installed
from the MegaCore IP Library CD-ROM either during or after installing
the Quartus II software. Alternatively, PCI Compiler can be downloaded
individually from the Altera website and installed separately.
