    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.

Subject: QL 25.1 vs 23.1 installation

 

Hi Richard- Happy New Year

 

We had issues with the IP configuration for the ADC core configuration Ql 25.11

One of the students reached out for support and was told there was an issue with the software. Half of the class installed 23.x, and it appeared to work.

 

Please advise: since we have licenses for Questa-Model Sim, do we need to apply for another license, or will the one we have be sufficient?

 

Advise when you can, and thanks for your time.

Jeff Canion

 

Also, we requested (10) boards through the university program, the DE-10 (standard)

We purchased the DE10-Lite and (2) appear to be damaged th others are ok

    It is not advised to reply to the email [email protected]. I believe this is a system-generated address that only sends you notifications when there is a reply or an update to the specific topic you are following.
    If you need to respond, please post directly in the topic thread on the forum.

    Regarding the issue with configuring the ADC or PLL IP in Quartus Lite 25.1, if you need further help on debugging, please kindly create a new topic in the forum so the community and Altera support team can better assist you.

    For Questa, Altera recommends downloading the version that is bundled with your Quartus installation to ensure compatibility.
    You may choose to use a newer version, but please do so at your own risk.
