It's saying I must have device support before I can start a project, but when I go to Device Installer and load in the Cyclone V qdz file, it says the device is already installed. It should be showing the device family so I can select the SoC part by number I think. Trying to attach a couple screenshots... Maybe the Lite version has tons of bugs in it. Not sure if it's working properly but if my board has a USB Blaster II on it, shouldn't I be able to program the board without a software license? The board was $800 and for that price, being able to program it bare metal should be free. Hopefully the Intel crew can fix the software for later releases. I've had my board for two years, and still haven't been able to program it. Not sure why Altera doesn't have customer service, or the board manufacturer at that.
