12V instead of 9V PowerSupply for Nios Stratix Edition?

Hi,

I've an old Nios DevKit (StratixEd, EP1S10). The UG says, I've to use a 9V PowerSupply,
but due to the lack of 9V-Supply I want to know if it's possible to use a 12V Supply?


On Board, there is an TI LM2678 LDO (min 8V, max >>12V) and the 9V-Line
is only connected to this LDO and to both prototype connectors (Schematics!).


Thanks,

Jotta
