2.1. Intel® Quartus® Prime Software and Driver Installation

Intel® Quartus® Prime design software is a multiplatform design environment that easily adapts to your specific needs in all phases of FPGA, CPLD and SoC designs. The Intel® Quartus® Prime software delivers the highest performance and productivity for Intel® FPGAs, CPLDs, and SoCs. Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software is optimized to support the advanced features in next-generation FPGAs and SoCs with the Intel Agilex® 7, Intel® Stratix® 10, Intel® Arria® 10, and Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX device families.

Intel Agilex® 7 F-Series (Two F-Tiles) Development Kit includes on-board Intel® FPGA Download Cable II circuits for FPGA and system Intel® MAX® 10 programming. However, for the host computer and board to communicate, you must install the Intel® FPGA Download Cable II driver on the host computer. Installation instructions for the Intel® FPGA Download Cable II driver for your operating system are available on the Intel® website.

On the Intel® website, navigate to the Cable and Adapter Drivers Information link to locate the table entry for your configuration and click the link to access the instructions.
