I am using the QII4.0 SP1 web edition, SOPC4.0, Nios3.2 tools to develop on a Cyclone C4 system. I have had problems taking working projects created with the licensed versions of the tools, and re-building, re-generating, and compiling some C with the web edition, and getting the resulting pof & srec to work properly. If I leave the project alone and just re-compile the C, it works. Somehow the pof or the srec I produce is faulty. The timing report says timing is good, so I suspect that the Generate step is not producing good libraries. The resulting system partially runs, but strips off the leading chars of every printf, along with other quirks.
So whats the story on compatibilty? Should it work, or is the web edition intentionally crippled in this way?
