12 years ago --- Quote Start --- What version? Cyclone II needs version 13.0 SP1 or earlier. Pete --- Quote End --- Thanks - As a new user does this mean that I should try and load the tutorials onto a larger device eg Cyclone 3. We normally design using PCB and ARM processors using the Big / Little NXP devices or higher end PIC's . I still don't get the technical or commercial benefit of using an FPGA so just wanted to investigate and hopefully the benefits will become clear . The first five minutes resulted in this situation so I am sure that the road is long and possibly full of gotchas ? Do you know if there is a list of successful implementations with some idea of development time and commercial justification for FPGA selection . Thanks again for your prompt response.
