    Hi Named,


    Thank you for your question.

    We just recently made the announcement on Agilex 3; therefore, the development boards release schedule and software information is not yet available.


    As far as this link suggests, Intel Agilex series is available with Quartus Prime Pro edition : https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/central-libraries/us/en/documents/quartus-prime-compare-editions-guide.pdf

    Kindly note that for Agilex 3 however, its available software information is not yet finalized. In case you need to purchase a license, we recommend contacting the local sales for the price details. There is an evaluation license which you can obtain for free for 90 days.


    Kind regards,

    Chee

Hi Chee,

Thanks for your quick response.
I had previously assumed that the Agilex 3 series would not release soon, since there's no release date provided.
Glad to see that i was wrong about that. I will be waiting for the release so i can take a look at their development boards.
(And hope there's a board in there that i can afford.)

When do you expect the development boards for the Agilex 3 to be released?

Just to be sure, would the Agilex 3 series be supported in the Intel® Quartus® Prime / II Version (Lite / Web) edition? Or will there be a license included for the Quartus software? Because it would be pointless to buy a 200 dollar board if you need thousands of dollars more just to program it.

Thank you and have a nice weekend!
