Quartus 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...

    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.

Hi jcanion-csn​ ,

2. It is recommended to use the simulator tool version bundled with the corresponding Quartus version (e.g., Quartus 20.1 with ModelSim 20.1).
Did Terasic specify any recommended Quartus version for their board?
MAX 10 devices appear to still be supported in the latest Quartus Lite/Standard version 24.1.
Altera always recommends using the latest supported Quartus/Questa version, ensuring that the operating system used is also supported.
Please note that ModelSim is no longer supported, as it has been replaced by Questa - FPGA Edition* starting from Quartus® Prime Pro Edition version 21.3 and Quartus® Prime Standard Edition version 21.1.
Does the Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition software require a...

3. As mentioned above, ModelSim has been replaced, so you’ll rarely find user guides referencing it as time passes.
However, you can refer to the Questa Simulation flow (also known as Nativelink simulation) below — it should works well for both.
