    • Why do I get the error “Can't find valid feature line for core SD_MMC_SPI_CORE (EC11_0002) in current license; Error: Error (10003): Can't open encrypted VHDL or Verilog HDL file” when I try to re-generate the LCD or Application Selector hardware...
    • Where can I get the SD-Card Controller IP License?
    • I have pictures that I would like to display on the PlanetWeb Digital Photo Frame. How do I do that?
    • How do I add my own design so the Application Selector can find and run it?
    • Where do I go to get more designs for the Altera Embedded Systems Development Kit?
    • How do I open a design example in the Nios II IDE?
    • I overwrote the Flash with my own design. But now I want to restore the original contents of the flash, the one that came when the board was shipped. How do I restore the factory image?
    • How do I re-build the factory image from source files?
