Re: Quartus Dark Theme on Linux - Solution
Have added a GUI that launches Quartus and sets the theme; also allows for changing the font size of platform designer / Qsys so that it is more readable on Linux. The idea is that this will support multiple launches of Quartus (Pro for Agilex5, Lite for Cyclone10, for example). The GUI is run from a binary that one can easily build / install with Rust from the repository mentioned above.Re: Quartus Dark Theme on Linux - Solution
There is also a small section in the script that increases the font for platform designer to make it more readable on high density displays. Overall I have not tested on regular Ubuntu but I would expect the script to work on Ubuntu / Debian related distros.Quartus Dark Theme on Linux - Solution
I have a solution for setting up a dark theme for Quartus Prime 25 on Linux (Mint) and setup a Github repo. The program modifies the stylesheet using a Rust program. https://github.com/saturn77/quartus-dark-linux This repo allows running Altera Quartus on Linux with a dark theme, providing a modern look while being easy on the eyes for Linux users. There are some dark stylesheets for Windows, but those simply will not work on Linux. Quartus's argument parser intercepts -stylesheet before Qt can process it on Linux. This project uses a small Rust LD_PRELOAD library to hook QApplication::exec() and inject the stylesheet directly via Qt's setStyleSheet() API. Tested with Quartus Prime Pro 25.3.1 (Qt 6.5.7) on Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon.Quartus Fitter Random Failing
I have a design for Cyclone VE that is about 90% full, and if I recompile the same design several times in a row, the design will intermittently fail on routing. The router settings have been at Performance (High Effort) and the design compiles often. Any suggestions here are appreciated. Thanks. JamesRe: Update single mif among multiple mif's in design with quartus_cdb
It also appears that this question was asked previously here in March 2019: https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Is-it-possible-to-update-one-mif-file-instead-of-the-all-set-to/m-p/694582 From the Quartus GUI, it does not appear that this is possible. However, upon further searching, it appears possible with a Makefile, as shown here: https://github.com/tomverbeure/fpga_quick_ram_update/blob/179837c409beaad14c12c24f1323ec0cfa0468f5/quartus_max10_deca/Makefile The makefile shows iterative update of all the Makefiles in a design, but one could select a limited set of makefiles to update.
