    Then I'm sorry I don't know what is causing this... Isn't there a more recent version of your demo project somewhere? A version that would already be converted to a more recent version of Quartus?

    You can get it from the Download Center:

    Nope. That gives you file not found for most old releases. Someone broke the links ages ago. I reported this to Altera but it still isn't fixed.

    I just downloaded V6.0 from the Download Center and it is there. If there is any specific file that you cannot find, please report to Altera

    I tried installed version 6 of quartus 2 with full subscription, i managed to obtained the license. Now i have a problem where my quartus programmer doesnt detect usb-blaster. Inside "my devices" the usb blaster is already installed. It works fine with versions 8,9, and 12. But this version wont detect it......

    Do you uninstall and reinstall the USB drivers when you change the version of Quartus? Maybe you could try Quartus 6 with the drivers from Quartus 12.

    OR as an alternative you can install both Quartus 6 and Quartus 12, and use the programmer from Quartus 12 with the files generated from Quartus 6.

    ok i will try it, but i have some question:

    1) If i use version 12 to program can i use nios IDE of version 6?

    2) can it function properly if i use quartus 12 programmer for a .sof file that is compatible to version 6 only?

    I loaded the sof file using quartus 12, and it was successful. But when I tried to run in nios II of version 6.0, it gives an error that the MicroC/OS ii component is unavailable
