Actually not quite true. The 13.1 version of QuartusII does NOT support the MAX7000 family in any form.

You need to use the 13.0sp1 version of QuartusII, which is the last version that supports the MAX3000/7000 CPLD families.

Available for either Windows or Linux. I use the Windows version on Windows 10 Pro 64b, it works fine.

I develop in verilog for the MAX7nnnS series parts and it works just fine.

The MAX7nnnAE variation is also supported.

The free/unlicensed web version works just fine for this application.

    thank you for the quick reply. The version 13-0sp1 seems to work without problems.

    Best regards

    I'm using Quartus 13.0.1 but it doesn't seem to support EPM7256ATC series or the MAX 7000A at all. Is the a device support pakage available?
