1.1. New Features and Enhancements

Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software Version 24.2 includes functional and security updates. Keep your software up-to-date and follow the technical recommendations that help to improve the security of your Quartus® Prime installation.

Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software Version 24.2 includes the following new features and enhancements:
  • Added support for new Agilex™ 5 and Agilex™ 7 devices. For details, refer to Changes in Device Support.
  • For Agilex™ 5 E-Series devices, you can now obtain a 1-year no-cost license for the Quartus® Prime software and the Questa* Intel® FPGA Starter Edition software directly from the License Setup page in the Quartus® Prime GUI.

    You can also obtain these licenses from the FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center as in previous releases.

  • For Agilex™ 5 devices, enhanced the Quartus® Prime GUI by adding the Enable CRAM Integrity Check option in the Device and Pin Options dialog box under the Error Detection CRC category.
  • For designs that contain video connectivity simplex IPs (such as SDI, HDMI, DisplayPort) and target Agilex™ 5 devices, you can use the new DS Assignment Editor to place two simplex IPs in the same transceiver channel by using dual simplex mode. To merge two simplex IPs into a dual simplex IP and instantiate the merged IP in your RTL, run the new HSSI Dual Simplex IP Generation compilation stage.

Bug Fixes

Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software Version 24.2 also include bug fixes. Review Software Issues Resolved and Software Patches Included in this Release to see if this version contains fixes for or otherwise resolves any of your customer service ( Intel® Premier Support) requests.
