Honored Contributorquartus prime lite and flex/acex support
hi,
question from total newbie.Plus-sorry for my bad english. Is it possible to develop applications for old flex 6000 or acex 1k with quartus prime.Or i need to download and install quartus 2 9.0 best regards, Andjelko.8 Replies
Altera_ForumI dont think the latest QII prime supports these devices since they are quite old. You would need to use the old QII version which has them supported.

It is possible, yes.
However, Quartus doesn't support these families - I'm pretty sure it never has. You need max+plus ii (https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/legacy/maxplus2/dnl-baseline.html). Note: this is very old software, it needs a license, and has restrictions as to what operating systems it supports. Do you have a good reason for using FLEX/ACEX? I strongly recommend you consider a much newer family. Cheers, Alex - Altera_Forum
Alex is right, this is an museum based product, and most of the resources like document, tools are aim for newer generations products.

Since it is about very old device, I think it would be of very low priority in MySupport.
