MAXII EPM2210GF256C3N device not available for selection

Hi Angela: That's really interesting. I only see the smaller Z devices with the 1.8V core.

I checked Quartus versions 12.0 -> 13.1 and none of the G variations came up in any of these versions.

I also tried to change the core voltage to 1.8V in the device and pin options and that is also locked out.

I haven't worked with this family much. So I don't know the why it would be missing from the standard devices lists. (I'm using the full licensed version of quartus, so it should be there)..

I suggest you open a support case, or contact your FAE if no one else on this site is able to help.

Usually as device support is dropped, it's listed on https://www.altera.com/download/sw/dnl-sw-index.jsp when you select by device. But Max II is still showing as fully supported.

Ok. I just got a answer from my FAE on this issue:

o target your device, manually enter the part in the Quartus II

Settings File (.qsf) by performing the following steps:

Close the project

Open <project>.qsf in a text editor

Locate the line set_global_assignment -name DEVICE <device code>

Change the setting to the device you are targeting

As an example, for the part EPM2210GF256I5, the syntax would be

set_global_assignment -name DEVICE EPM2210GF256I5

Exclude the N (lead-free) indicator if that is applicable to

your part

Save the updated file

To verify your changes, perform the following steps:

Open your project

On the Assignments menu, click Devices

Verify that Target device has the Other: option selected and is set

to your device

In this example, EPM2210GF256I5

Why quartus doesn't list the G variation I don't know. But it does work. I compiled a simple design just to verify and under device and pin options for Voltage, it lists the VCCINT as 1.8V instead of the 3.3V for the F variation that I initially started the project with.
