New MemberCurrent and Future Support Status of Cyclone 10 GX in Quartus Prime Pro
Hello,
I am designing a multi-FPGA system utilizing the Cyclone 10 GX family (specifically targeting the 10CX105YF780I6G and 10CX220YF780E6G devices).
Before committing hardware layout spins in our EDA environment, I would like to clarify the current software and lifecycle status:
- Device Support Roadmap: Can Altera confirm that the Cyclone 10 GX family remains fully supported for synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation in current and upcoming releases of Quartus Prime Pro Edition?
- Licensing Status: Is compilation for the 10CX105 and 10CX220 still supported under the free, no-cost mode of Quartus Prime Pro, including standard Nios II / Nios V soft processor implementations?
- Linux Distribution Support: Official documentation lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE. Are there known blockers or library constraints (e.g., glibc or legacy ncurses/tinfo requirements) for running the Quartus Prime Pro toolchain and JTAG cable drivers on newer Linux desktop kernels (such as Debian 13 / Ubuntu 24.04)?
Any confirmation regarding the long-term support timeline and recommended tool versions for new Cyclone 10 GX designs would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

fisichelai_responder Can you confirm the following details for the Cyclone 10 GX family (10CX105 and 10CX220):
- Are Cyclone 10 GX devices still fully supported for synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation in the latest release of Quartus Prime Pro Edition?
2. Is compilation for the 10CX105 and 10CX220 (including Nios II / Nios V soft processors) still available under the free, no-license-fee mode of Quartus Prime Pro?
3. Are there known library constraints (such as libtinfo5 or libncurses5) when installing Quartus Prime Pro and USB-Blaster JTAG drivers on Debian Linux?
