10 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi Bassman59, Just wonder what does they refer to with "paid-for-tools"? As I understand it, Modelsim Altera starter edition is a free version. I have been using Quartus II subscription version and Modelsim Altera starter edition but seems not get into similar issue with Cyclone V. By the way, just wonder if you can give it a try with older Quartus II version ie 13.1 which is running with Megawizard to see if it work? --- Quote End --- "paid-for" tools == the subscription version of Quartus II which supports all of the devices. The free version doesn't support the Arria V device (among other things). The docs say that ModelSim AE Starter supports all of the devices but is castrated. The paid-for version of ModelSim AE is faster.
