1.3. Installing the Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition for Cyclone® V Device Support

Cyclone® V support in the Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition requires Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition or Intel® Quartus® Prime Lite Edition.

To compile a Cyclone® V HLS component, you must have the following software installed:
  • Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition Version 21.3
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition or Lite Edition Version 20.1

Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard and Lite Editions Version 20.1 do not include the Intel® HLS Compiler. You must add Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition Version 21.3 to your Intel® Quartus® Prime installation.

You have the following options to include the Intel® HLS Compiler Version 21.3 in your Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Version 20.1 or Intel® Quartus® Prime Lite Edition Version 20.1 installation:

  • Upgrade or add the Intel® HLS Compiler installation in your Intel® Quartus® Prime installation:
    1. Download the Intel® High Level Synthesis Compiler installation package from the Additional Software tab of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Download Center (http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/?edition=pro).
    2. Follow the instructions for upgrading the Intel® HLS Compiler in an existing Intel® Quartus® Prime installation in one of following sections:

    If you have multiple Intel® Quartus® Prime installations, upgrade or add the Intel® HLS Compiler in each installation.

  • Install the Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition into its default installation directory and set the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE environment variable to point to the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition or Intel® Quartus® Prime Lite Edition installation that you want the Intel® HLS Compiler to use for Cyclone® V device support.
    1. Download the Intel® High Level Synthesis Compiler installation package from the Additional Software tab of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Download Center (http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/?edition=pro).
    2. Run the Intel® HLS Compiler standalone installer and accept the default installation location.

    If you have multiple Intel® Quartus® Prime installations, confirm that the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE environment variable points to the Intel® Quartus® Prime installation that you want the Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition to use. The environment variable must be set correctly before you initialize the Intel® HLS Compiler Pro Edition environment.

    Remember: (Linux only) If you use ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Edition provided with Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition, you must have additional 32-bit libraries installed. Refer to Intel HLS Compiler Pro Edition Backwards Compatibility for details.
