Running BTS on Stratix 10 SX development board

I want to run the default program (BTS) which is part of the dev board's package installer. This program is not able to load, and connect to the System Console server. It seems it is trying to search...

    Hello

    Welcome to INTEL forum. Upon checking, the Quartus version supported for BTS test is v18.0 b184. Could you help check on this?

    The manufactured board’s BTS was built with Quartus version 18.0 b184. and the error you get possibly caused by the difference in system console of different Quartus revisions. We strongly recommended to use the right Quartus version as it was tested. Thanks

I work on Quartus 22.1.0, and just installed SoC and NIOS II EDS toolchains. Currently, I have only Stratix 10 (H-tile) based board. What are the possible ways for me to make sure that I have correctly setup all the tools.

I initially thought of getting started with BTS, but that requires an earlier version installation. This is something which I am not keen on doing soon.

Then, I thought of looking at other reference design i.e. GSRD. I am having issues while verifying it with my current tools, and hardware setup. I am not getting that initial prompt on the UART terminal (tried on Putty).

I could see some other designs also e.g. DDR4. I am yet to get a full picture of the board, and its JTAG chain to configure the switches to include only FPGA in the chain.

Looking for something which works directly with quartus 22.1.0, and on Stratix 10 SX dev board with documentation which includes switch settings. I am fine with NIOS based reference designs to begin with.
