Install Quartus® Prime Software
Quartus® Prime software includes everything you need to design for Intel® FPGAs, from design entry and synthesis to optimization, verification, and simulation. It contains the following features:
Hybrid Placer & Global Router
Timing Analyzer
Physical Synthesis
Incremental Fitter Optimization
Interface Planner
Synthesis Engine
Platform Designer
Partial Reconfiguration
Block-Based (Hierarchical) Design
NOTE:
The Quartus® Prime software is not required for the FPGA development flow emulation or report generation stages. You can complete those stages with only the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (part of the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit) and the FPGA Compiler Support Package for the Intel® oenAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler.
If you want to use the Quartus® Prime software (required for FPGA hardware and simulation flow) with the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, the edition and version of Quartus® Prime software that you need depends on your target device (either standalone device or the device on an acceleration board). Refer to the Intel® oneAPI DPC++ /C++ Library System Requirements for more information.
If you want to install a version of the Quartus® Prime software, follow the instructions in the following documents:
If you already have a version of the Quartus® Prime software installed on your system and you want to use that version, then use one of the following methods to set up the environment:
Set QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE = <path_to_your_quartus_folder>
Add the bin directory of the Quartus® Prime software to your PATH variable.
If you have multiple versions of the Quartus® Prime software installed, Altera recommends setting the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE variable to point to the Quartus software path you want to use. Otherwise, you might end up using a version different than the one you expected. Ensure that you set the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE variable after running the setvars script, which can potentially override your setting.
