How to change the device family in Quartus ii 15.0

Question

Hello,

Currently I'm trying to build the FPGA using Quartus 15.0.0 Build 145 and I got the below errors when compiled...

Error (12024): WYSIWYG primitive "pll1" is not compatible with the current device family
Error (12024): WYSIWYG primitive "pll1_phy" is not compatible with the current device family
Error (12024): WYSIWYG primitive "pll2" is not compatible with the current device family

So as per the above errors, it is clearly shows that it is not compatible with current device family, so I want to change the device from Arria ii to Altera Arria V. So please help me in getting the build to be finished.

Thanks,

Under the main Quartus menu item 'Assignments' go down and select 'Devices' and then change the device family.
If Arria V is not an option, then you need to install the device support package for Arria V.

Hello,

Arria V is not available in the Device family list, can you send me the link from where to install the device support package for Arria V?

Thanks,

Well, if you absolutely need Quartus 15.0 that will be a problem.
Quartus versions earlier than 17.0 have been deprecated and are no longer freely available for download.
If you absolutely need 15.0 support you will have to deal with Intel directly via an NDA to possibly get access.
The path of least resistance is to download Quartus 17.0 Standard from here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software-kit/669514/intel-quartus-prime-standard-edition-design-software-version-17-0-for-windows.html
where Arria V support files are available.
