Hi,

I have VS 2010 Pro available at work but not at home. I have installed HLS 21.2 PRO.

Does this need a license or is it OK with Quartus Lite?

From what I have read it seems the HLS Pro is OK without Quartus Pro.

Anyway, when I run the tools they are still pointing to the HLS 19.1 compiler. The init_ .bat ran OK.

regards

Konrad

Screen shot of the init_hls.bat

ps. I also have quartus 19.1 installed on my C:\ drive in the standard location...I opened and closed it prior to running to ensure it was the last version run, but the init_hls.bat seems to still pick up on the older version,

Regards

Konrad

    OK it is working. What works for me is...

    Run the DOS prompt as administrator

    Run the init.hls.bat

    Compile the file from the SAME DOS prompt...i.e. don't close the DOS prompt.

    Re-run the init_hls.bat every time.

    Regards
