You can evaluate the Nios II processor without a license. With Intel FPGA's free Intel
FPGA IP Evaluation Mode feature, you can perform the following actions:
• Simulate the behavior of a Nios II processor within your system.
• Verify the functionality of your design, as well as evaluate its size and speed
quickly and easily.
• Generate time-limited device programming files for designs that include Nios II
processors.
• Program a device and verify your design in hardware.
You only need to purchase a license for the Nios II processor when you are completely
satisfied with its functionality and performance, and want to take your design to
production.
