Do I need USB driver on host for Arria 10 GX dev kit (PCIe)?

Hie,

Quartus Pro is not a super-set of "Standard". If you refer to the Arria 10 Devkit User Guide, it mentions using Quartus Prime Standard in Chapter 2 "Getting Started".

Some of the IP file directory structures and hierarchy are different between Quartus Standard and Pro which could be contributing to the issue you have observed. Hence, that is the reason I requested to try installing Quartus Prime Standard as the BTS UI could be using some files in from Quartus. Since, your windows "System Environment path" points towards Quartus Prime Pro, the BTS UI might not be able to call/read the required Quartus files. Hence, installing a fresh Quartus Prime Standard should change the "System Environment path" to Quartus Prime Standard.

Another way is if you already have a Quartus Prime Standard installed, then you can manually change the System Environment path.

Nathan
