8B10B Encoder /Decoder Walkthrough
4. Use the IP functional simulation model to verify the operation of
your design.

For more information on IP functional simulation models, refer to the
Simulating Altera IP in Third-Party Simulation Tools chapter in Volume 3 of
the Quartus II Handbook.
5. Use the Quartus II software to compile your design.

You can also generate an OpenCore Plus time-limited
programming file, which you can use to verify the
operation of your design in hardware.
6. Purchase a license for the 8B10B Encoder/Decoder MegaCore
Function.
After you have purchased a license for the 8B10B Encoder/Decoder
MegaCore Function, follow these additional steps:
1. Set up licensing.
2. Generate a programming file for the Altera® device(s) on your
board.
3. Program the Altera device(s) with the completed design.
This walkthrough shows you how to create an 8B10B Encoder/Decoder
MegaCore function using the MegaWizard interface and the Quartus II
software. After generating a custom variation of the 8B10B
Encoder/Decoder MegaCore function, you can incorporate it into your
overall project.
