How can I get to see the DK-DEV-1SGX board in the Assignments->Device dialog of Quartus Prime Pro?

I have a DK-DEV-1SGX-H-A development kit for the Stratix 10 GX device.

The Quartus Prime User Guide -> Getting Started section explains that in the New Project Wizard or the Assignments->Device dialog of a project a development kit can be selected inside the "Board" tab. Then an appropriate pin assignment script should be created automatically.

This would be extremely helpful as a starter. Unfortunately the "Board" tab of that dialog is completely empty. The "Family" selection doesn't have any entries at all and the "Development Kit" selection has the single entry "Any". So there is nothing to choose from.

I have downloaded and installed Quartus Prime Pro 18.1.0.222 (as this is the version mentioned explicitly in the board documentation) and the related Stratix 10 device installer package.

Is there something I have missed? Or do I have to point QPP to some of the files included in the board's installer package? To be honest I am a little bit overloaded with the various files and docs.

I have also tried to follow the advice in the dialog box itself:
"Can't find your board? Check the Design Store for additions and search for baseline under Design Examples."
There are, of course, some design examples. But as soon as I search for "Baseline" the list gets empty.

Thank you very much for any helpful advice in advance!

Best regards,
Sebastian

  • Hi Sir

    Done some checking with teammate. Based on my understanding, we don’t support board file for all the dev kit in every Quartus version.

    My suggestion, you could either use golden design qsf file or open any example design in dev kit installation kit as Quartus project template reference on how to build Quartus design for this dev kit.

      Hello,

      to be honest, I can't get to see any real "error message".

      The only thing is:
      I only downloaded the Stratix10 related device files for Quartus Prime Pro. So in the device section, I can only select "Stratix 10 (SX/GX/TX/MX)" as the only option for the device family.

      When I then switch the tab to "Board" the greyed out message in the contents window says:
      "No board/development kit found for the selected device family."

      As shown in the attached screenshot.

      Best regards,
      Sebastian

        I'm wondering if there is something wrong with your Quartus installation, because you've done everything correctly to see the dev kit on the Board tab. I'd try doing a reinstall of Quartus and the device (.qdz). You could also try downloading a newer version of Quartus and see if there is any difference (though there shouldn't be).
