Hi,

Greetings and welcome to Intel's forum.

Starting from Quartus 19.1 and above, the Cygwin component in the Windows* version of Nios® II EDS has been removed and replaced with Windows* Subsystem for Linux* (WSL).

Let me know if you need any further clarifications from my end.


Thank you.

Regards,

Kelly
