Does Quartus II support on EP1K50 (ACEX 1K)

Hi everyone,

Does Quartus II support on EP1K50? If yes, please kindly update which QII version support on EP1K50 device as I have to rebuild an old Max-plus II which contains an EP1K50 and wish to convert it with using QII.

Thank you for your help

    The website claims that Quartus II 11.1sp2 supports legacy devices, does this not include the ACEX 1K devices? I would like to use the newer tool to develop for the simpler device but have not found any support in the latest Quartus for ACEX 1K

    Quartus 11.1sp2 will not support ACEX, FLEX, etc. Those devices are too old.

    Just install both version of Quartus. There is no problem having multiple versions of Quartus installed on one machine. I have 9.0SP2, 10.1, and 11.1sp1 all coexisting.

    I've started to use VirtualBox and Virtual machines to support legacy tools. That way I can put the entire OS plus installed tools onto an external USB drive, and it does not take space on my laptop drive (other than for the VirtualBox install).

    Cheers,
