No valid license for CoreDLA found

Hello,

I have the Intel Premier Pro and building the bitstream for the example as per the instructions from
Intel FPGA AI Suite for Arria10 SoC DevKit, section 3.3.2. Building the FPGA Bitstreams.

I have openVINO v2022.2
FPGA AI Suite v2023.3
Intel Quartus Prime Pro v2023.3

I have the evaluation license for 90 days which has allowed me to build the bitstream in the past:

However:
dla_build_example_design.py -ed 4_A10_S2M -n 1 -a /opt/intel/fpga_ai_suite_2023.3/dla/example_architectures/A10_Performance.arch --build --build-dir $COREDLA_WORK/a10_perf_bitstream --output-dir $COREDLA_WORK/a10_perf_bitstream

Says that I do not have a valid CoreDLA license even though my license manager tool lists FPGA AI suite 018B in there. It is also unable to find .qsys apparently which is also odd.

I noticed a few things on this fresh install:

I am not able to just invoke quartus command in the terminal
I have to run it from ./opt/intel/intelFPGA_pro/quartus/bin/quartus


Please advise on any resolution.

Thanks,
Manu

    Hello! I was able to solve it myself, the issue was as simple as Quartus not being in $PATH. Which was given away because I wasn't able to invoke the quartus command and had to run it directly from ./opt/intel/intelFPGA_pro/quartus/bin/quartus.


    export $PATH=$PATH:    /opt/intel/intelFPGA_pro/quartus/bin/ does the trick.

    Thanks.
