1.1. System Requirements

Advanced Link Analyzer has the following minimum system requirements:

  • Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019
  • 4 GB RAM
  • 9 GB storage space
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8

Advanced Link Analyzer requires an Intel® Quartus® Prime software pro/standard license to perform simulations, design channels, and view channel characteristics. Contact My Intel® support if you have questions regarding accessing the Intel® Quartus® Prime software pro/standard license. Advanced Link Analyzer works independently without the Intel® Quartus® Prime software (except the licensing check). Thus, you do not need to install the Intel® Quartus® Prime software for installing or using Advanced Link Analyzer.

Starting with the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version 21.1 release, Advanced Link Analyzer utilizes the Intel® Math Kernel Library (MKL), which improves simulation and analysis performance. The Advanced Link Analyzer installer includes all required MKL run-time library files, so you do not need to install Intel MKL separately on your system.

Note: Advanced Link Analyzer (was called JNEye) 15.0 and older versions require a Quartus II subscription license to perform simulations, design channels, and view channel characteristics.
