CycloneIII LS Devices Not Showing in Quartus II 13.0sp1 New Project Wizard
I am currently using a DE3 development board equipped with the EP3SL340H1152C2N chip (Cyclone III LS series). I have installed the Intel® Quartus® II Subscription Edition 13.0sp1 for Windows, but I encountered the following issue:
Although I can select "Cyclone III LS" as the device family in the "New Project Wizard", the "Available Devices" list is always empty, even with “Show advanced devices” checked.
Installation Steps and Environment:
I downloaded the following three files from the official Intel website:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software-kit/711920/intel-quartus-ii-subscription-edition-design-software-version-13-0sp1-for-windows.htmlQuartus-13.0.1.232-windows.tar
Quartus-13.0.1.232-devices-1.tar
Quartus-13.0.1.232-devices-2.tar
I extracted all files to:
C:\Users\chen_lab\Downloads\quartus_installerBecause setup.bat failed to run with administrator privileges, I used PowerShell with the following commands:
cd C:\Users\chen_lab\Downloads\quartus_installer
$SCRIPT_PATH = "C:\Users\chen_lab\Downloads\quartus_installer"
$CMD_NAME = Join-Path $SCRIPT_PATH "components\QuartusSetup-13.0.1.232.exe"
Start-Process $CMD_NAMEThe installer GUI opened and installation completed successfully, with Cyclone III support selected.
- After launching Quartus II (64-bit) using the provided license key, the software runs fine, but the "Available Devices" section in the "New Project Wizard" is always blank.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Verified that the folder for Cyclone III exists:
D:\altera\13.0sp.1_Subscription\quartus\common\devinfo\cycloneiii
There is no conflicting version installed.
"Tools > Install Devices" currently does not respond.
- During earlier attempts, the QDZ installation window appeared, then said devices were already installed.
I've attached the quartus.ini file from seriallite_ii folder for reference.
Could you kindly advise how to resolve the missing device list?
Thank you very much for your support!
