Hi,
 

Thank you for the detailed information.
 

Since the issue is seen across multiple OS versions, this looks more likely related to the Quartus device package installation rather than the board itself. There is also a similar case where Stratix III did not appear in Quartus 13.1 even though it showed as installed, and the recommendation was to reinstall using the correct .qdz file from the Individual Files tab.

Please try the following:
1. Remove the current Stratix III device support and reinstall using the matching Stratix III .qdz file. 
2. Make sure the device installer is pointing to the correct file and folder. Older Quartus II 13.1 cases also showed that device file naming or installation path issues can prevent proper detection. 
 

For reference, Stratix III is a supported device family in Quartus II 13.1, and the EP3SL150 device is part of the Stratix III family. 

 

Regards,
Fakhrul
