Max VII device file

Hi,

I am completely new to Altera and Quartus II. I am using Quartus II 64-bit 13.1.0 under Ubuntu Linux.

I have a programmable NIM module with an Altera MAX chip to program to be able to make some

2-fold or 3-fold time coincidence from an input of 8 channels. Does anybody know a similar usecase

and/or some related example project files?

While watching tutorials I learned I need to specify the device I have (Altera MAX EPM7128SLC84-10N)

under Assignments->Device. However, I don't see Max VII device family in the drop down list.

When at the common Altera download page I did not find support device files (qdz) for device family Max VII.

Could you help to find out how can I install qdz device files for my chip?

Thanks a lot for any help.

Kind regards,

Balint

    Its not a max VII, its a max 7000, which is very old and IIRC, support was dropped in quartus 10.0.

    Thanks a lot for your answer! So, I may need to use some older version to work with it, < 10.0 ? I hope it works out...

    Cheers,
