    Hello

    Welcome to INTEL forum. Compatibility of Nios V Core with Quartus Version:

    Adding Nios V Core: You can integrate a Nios V core with the functional safety Nios II (Lockstep) core using the Quartus version included in your functional safety data package. The Nios V core, being free of charge, generally requires the latest versions of Quartus for full compatibility and functionality. Ensure you have the latest Quartus Pro version included in your package for seamless integration.

    Additional Licenses: Typically, no additional licenses are required for the Nios V core itself if it is stated to be free of charge. However, using it in conjunction with other IPs or features might need proper Quartus Pro licensing, which should be covered by your functional safety data package. Verify your specific use case with Intel's support if unsure.

    Use of Diagnostic IPs with Quartus-Lite:

    Quartus-Lite Compatibility: Diagnostic IPs provided in the "IP-ABG-SAFETYDP5" package are generally optimized for use with Quartus Pro Edition. While some IPs may work with Quartus-Lite, the advanced features and optimizations available in Quartus Pro might not be fully accessible. For the best experience and full feature set, it's recommended to use Quartus Pro Edition as specified in the package.
