Altera Quartus II 7.2 install program

We are updating an old design that uses the Altera EP2C15AF256C8N FPGA. It uses the Nios processor and was created using Altera Quartus II 7.2. As part of the upgrade debug process, we would like to be able to modify and compile the old code. I have tried Quartus 13.0.1, but get many errors. I'm not the person who did the original design, and skipping six major versions makes that impossible.

Is is possible get access to the Quartus II 7.2 install program?

Thanks,

-roger

    EP2C15 is a CycloneII part, so it should be supported in QuartusII 13.0sp1 which is still available for download.

    Upgrading to that still-supported version is probably the recommended approach.

    If you absolutely positively have to get access to v7.2 that is not available for public download.

    So you will need to contact Intel and open a case to execute an NDA, and they may or may not grant you access to a private download.

    Me, I would bite the bullet and move to 13.0sp1.

      Thanks for the suggestion, I may have to go with that option.

      I contacted Intel, opened a case, and they sent me here, so it looks like that path isn't going anywhere.

    Roger,


    Apologize for the inconvenience.

    Yes C2 is still supported in Q13 version and will be good to proceed with that.

    This is to avoid any unsupported bug/fix from legacy tool.

    Let me know if there is any other concern.
