After you have compiled your design, program your targeted Altera
device, and verify your design in hardware.
With Altera's free OpenCore Plus evaluation feature, you can evaluate the
PCI Express MegaCore function before you purchase a license. OpenCore
Plus evaluation allows you to generate an IP functional simulation model
and produce a time-limited programming file.
For more information on IP functional simulation models, see the
Simulating Altera IP in Third-Party Simulation Tools chapter in volume 3 of
the Quartus II Development Software Handbook.
You can simulate the PCI Express MegaCore function in your design and
perform a time-limited evaluation of your design in hardware.
For more information on OpenCore Plus hardware evaluation using the
PCI Express MegaCore function, see
Behavior” on page 3–30
Megafunctions.
You need to purchase 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 purchase a license for the PCI Express MegaCore function, 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.

If your design does not initially meet the timing constraints,
try using the Design Space Explorer in the Quartus II
software to find the optimal Fitter settings for your design
to meet the timing constraints. To use the Design Space
Explorer, choose Launch Design Space Explorer (Tools
Menu).
