Is it possible that you need a lower version of the supporing Quartus toolkit? If you go to
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/downloads/download-center.html
and look at version 20.1.1, you can see that the Cyclone V is supported in the std and lite versions. I would be interested to see if you tried that and it worked as I have a DE10-Nano kit coming
Hi mcordery
The situation is that I was harmed by Intel's advertising.
I invested my money buying a FPGA card to work with OpenAPI, but the FPGA add-on for custom platforms comes with Quartus Prime Pro and It does not have support for my Cyclone V.
Now, what I have is money and time invested in something that doesn't work.
I am used to these situations working with Intel softwares and devices.
Reading the ads, everything looks very good, but when we get our hands dirty, there is always an extremely expensive license or device to make some progress that was not described in the ads.
I am not going to buy an Arria 10 card and a Quartus Pro license to work with OpenAPI with FPGA, it is not fair. I am not part of a large corporation and yet I have to pay as if I were.
I believe I fell into some kind of dirty trap of Khronos, Altera and Intel to earn profits by greasing developers with their ads.
There is no way to work with OpenAPI and FPGA with Quartus Standard supported boards, but it is out of the docs and ads.
Shame of Khronos, Altera and Intel.
