Arria V GX FPGA Starter Kit - where is the example project itself for the kit?

Yes, the answer is nowhere, mon frere. As a public service I may be posting one on Github, but don't hold your breath because I'm a Xilinx guy and haven't used Quartus in over 10 years and have never used Qsys. Coursera has a good FPGA course from the University of Colorado @ Boulder which deals with some embedded stuff, but uses Quartus Prime (with Qsys) on a Max 10 FPGA.

I know this is 5 years late, but maybe someone else is currently struggling with this board.
