Quartus Prime 15.1 (and 14.1) also tested with Win 10 OS.

However, if you also use Altera EDS-SOC 15.1/ ARM DS5, I experienced the following problem:

building an officially released bare-metal sw example e.g. altera-socfpga-hardwarelib-fpga-cv-gnu the cygwin shell gives some fatal errors like: 

arm-altera-eabi-objdump -d hwlib.axf > hwlib.axf.objdump
      8  sh 6492 c:\altera\15.1\embedded\host_tools\cygwin\bin\sh.exe: *** fatal error in forked process - fork: can't reserve memory for parent stack 0x600000 - 0x800000, (child has 0x400000 - 0x600000), win32 error 487
    243  sh 6492 cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile: dumping stack trace to sh.exe.stackdump
      8  sh 4080 fork: child -1 - forked process 6492 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11
/usr/bin/sh: fork: retry: no child processes

etc.

This error above is also with ARM DS5 14.1.

Any help to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thanks:
