Licensing the Core

This chapter provided licensing options for the Endpoint Block Plus for PCI Express core, which you must do before using the core in your designs. The core is provided under the terms of the Xilinx LogiCORE Site License Agreement, which conforms to the terms of the SignOnce IP License standard defined by the Common License Consortium.

Before you Begin

This chapter assumes you have installed the core using either the CORE Generator IP Software Update installer or by performing a manual installation after downloading the core from the web. For additional information about installing the core, see the Block Plus for PCIe product page.

License Options

The Endpoint Block Plus for PCIe core provides two license options: a Simulation Only Evaluation license and a Full license. The Simulation Only Evaluation license is provided by default with the CORE Generator. The Full license is also free of charge, but you must register for it on the Block Plus for PCIe product page. See “Obtaining a Full License” below.

Simulation Only

The Simulation Only Evaluation license, provided by default with CORE Generator, lets you assess the core functionality with either the provided example design or alongside your own design, and demonstrates the various interfaces to the core in simulation. (Functional simulation is supported by a dynamically generated gate-level netlist.)

Full

The Full license provides full access to all core functionality both in simulation and in hardware, including:

Gate-level functional simulation support

Back annotated gate-level simulation support

Full implementation support including place and route and bitstream generation

Full functionality in the programmed device with no time outs
