Finally...
The last 4 days working with NIOS2 since I can't upgrade my subscription...
...or is there an opensource alternative like the "utnios" before?

Why ? are you a hobbyist ? In the Education, you should have no problem, since Altera policy is quite generous. In the Industry, the investment is modest and very much worth it IMO.
If you are a hobbyist, I think the eval mode lets you generate systems that work for some time and / or in a tethered configuration ?
I don't think there is today a better/cheaper/nicer SOPC environment than NIOSII, but it's a very personal opinion indeed. If you've used it, I'm sure you know what I mean :-)

No...company..
But according to "EBV" it is too expensive to open me up as a customer (o;
I know that...but would not work in my case for building Linux tools.

Did you look at
I don't think there is a nios replacement, but there sure are many alternatives ...

Only have this old utnios design which based on nios32 and then the distribution was prohibited by Altera...
But speaking of...has anybody ever done a CPU SOPC component?
rick
what you mean was prohibitied by Altera? utnios is is still available I just checked!
What Altera DID try to prohibit was, well they told me that I can promote a sell NIOX
- a NIOS-2 compatible core. So I removed the public links to NIOX from my website.
there is nothing at opencores that could be used as nios-2 replacement, the only opensource environment that i would consider is LEON3/GRLIB, and that is not hosted on opencores.
I have tried to make SOPC processors components and also EDK processor components with EDK I succeeded, I had a AVR processor that was possible to use in EDK/XPS with SOPC it should also be possible, actually it does exist, and is available from altera the Avalon microsequences, its a processor component for SOPC, with full sources, so you can use it as base to design your SOPC processors...

It was offline for a while..believe me (o; Yes..back at:
Did some tests with it...looks nice...
Gonna dig it out then...kiitoksia (o;

Oki..found it:
Hmm..Altera login broken? Didn't work for the whole weekend...

Jedi,
As I understand irt, the expiration of the Nios kit license does not prevent you from using Nios. You will not receive any additional subscription shipments, but you perpetually have a license to compile/ship a product with Nios using the last version that you received in your subscription.
For Quartus the story is different; the dev kit edition of Quartus does expire. You might check Quartus web edition for continued use if you don't wish to renew your subscription.

Hi Rick,
What about Arrow?

One of the worst distributors here besides Memec... Can try..but takes probably at 1 or 2 weeks until they reply (o;
