Intel FPGAs

Software

We assume version X of Intel Quartus Prime Pro is installed in /share/intel-fpga/tools/X. You probably want to use the highest version available.

To use any of the Intel FPGA tools, enter an environment with the required software dependencies and environment variables:

nix-shell /share/intel-fpga/tools/X/shell.nix

Run Quartus

Launch Quartus in a graphical environment from the command line:

quartus

Install Quartus

To install another version of Quartus, download Quartus Prime Pro for Linux under "Complete Download".

Extract the tar file, run ./setup_pro.sh in a graphical environment and use the graphical installer to install everything. Finally, copy the shell.nix file from another version to the new install location and adjust INSTALL_DIR.

License

Quartus Prime Pro requires a license. The license files are located at /share/intel-fpga/licenses/. The current license is only valid on our server rose and will expire on the 1st of March 2025.
