New ContributorQuartus 20.1 and ModelSim 20.1?
Hello Support
Q1: I am currently teaching Digital Logic Design 2 with Verilog and VHDL. I requested DE10-Lite donations from Intel. I believe the transition from Intel back to Altera FPGA may have been delayed. My concern is that I am unable to complete the form. The fields 'Course' and 'Quality' are blank. Please advise when you can.

Terasic mentioned requesting the DE10-Lite board, we can have the school purchase it at our academic pricing, but we will ask for donations for the Spring semester.
Q2: I initially had my students download QL 22.1 and MS 20.1; they worked during the summer as I prepped. When I ran the program, I encountered errors and was advised to downgrade to QL 20.1 and MS 20.1. This resulted in some success programming the device in QL; for MS, the simulations were not successful, and I could not verify the timing. "Which versions should I use that produce fewer errors? We will use the DE10-Lite and another board, not sure. It has been several frustrating sessions, and it has been a bit confusing. We are currently using Quartus Prime 20.1 and ModelSim 20.1, Intel FPGA Starter Edition 2020.1.
Q3: Regarding ModelSim, is there a reference user guide?
As we move forward, please advise, and thank you for your time.

Thanks, Richard. As I will be teaching this same class next semester, we will try Questa Standard (free). Does it require a license? Our IT department has not yet resolved the installation issue; Windows rejects the expired certificate. There was a workaround for the BIOS. But still left some workstations not installed correctly? Our last resort was to install ModelSim on the laptops, but it had issues.
