4.5. Installing Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software

The Intel® FPGA AI Suite is compatible with Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition for Linux* Versions 19.2 - 23.3. Intel® FPGA AI Suite does not support Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition for Windows*.

WSL 2 Restriction: In a Windows* Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2) environment, you must install Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition for Linux* in your WSL 2 environment. You cannot use a Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition for Windows* installation with Intel® FPGA AI Suite in the WSL 2 environment on the same system.
Tip: When designing a solution with the Intel® FPGA AI Suite, use the latest supported version of Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition.
Ensure that the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR environment variable is set correctly. For example, you can add the following to your ~/.bashrc file to set the target directory appropriately: 
export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="<quartus_install_path>/quartus/"
Important:

The Intel® FPGA AI Suite design examples require specific versions of Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition. This requirement applies only to the design examples and does not apply to the Intel® FPGA AI Suite IP and compiler. For the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition requirements for the design examples, refer to the following table:

Table 4.   Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Requirements for Intel® FPGA AI Suite Design Example
Design Example Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Requirement
PCIe-based design example for Intel® Arria® 10 devices Intel® Acceleration Stack Version 1.2.1

(includes Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Version 19.2)

PCIe-based design example for Intel Agilex® 7 devices Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Version 22.4 or later.

This document assumes that Version 23.3 is used.

SoC-based design example for Intel® Arria® 10 SX SoC devices Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Version 23.3

( Ashling* RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs is also required)

Next Step

After installing Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition, continue your installation with Setting Required Environment Variables.
