Brand new Bittware S5-PCIe-HQ not working with Quartus 13.1 CentOS 6.5

Hi,

We have started working with this FPGA on CentOS 6.5, we managed to get the board recognized by Linux and we can even use the Bittworks Toolkit to read sensors and communicate with the board. The problem is after installing Quartus, because it doesn’t list any Stratix devices when creating a new project and we haven’t been able to create any VHDL code to program it.

We are using Quartus 13.1 Subscription Edition and we have a license file. The board is currently connected with a micro-USB to USB cable because when is brand new, the manual says it won’t be detected on the PCIe connector. Is there any special requirement to get Quartus to recognize this board?

Regards,

Paul

      Hi Sue,

      Yes I have. Unfortunately they cannot provide any support as I bought the board second hand and they have policies against providing support for second hand products :(

      Hence why I’m browsing this old forums looking for other users that might have these files (the qsf is the most important one with all the settings and pin mappings).

      cheers

      Steffen

        I see. That's unfortunate, Steffen. I hope you are able to find someone to help you.

    Hi Paul,

    First, my apologies for resurrecting a very old thread.

    I'm reaching out in desperation. I have a S5PH-Q board but I have lost the original design example files. At the very least I would need the QSF file with the pin assignments.

    Would you be able to help me ?

    Sincerely,

    Steffen
