New ContributorHello,
RichardTanSY_Altera recently posted on this forum that "Quartus Lite/Standard is currently in maintenance mode".
What does this specifically mean? Will these Quartus versions be phased out and replaced with something else? If so, please provide details.
On the surface, Richard's statement does not bode well for devices like Cyclone 10 LP and Cyclone 5 GX.
Thank you,
Bob
Super ContributorWhen I mentioned that the Lite/Standard editions are in maintenance mode, it means no new features will be added in the future.
The Quartus lite/standard software is not gonna phase out or EOL.
Only fixes for issues that block the design process—such as internal or fatal errors—will be provided (if no workaround is available).
For example, if you encounter a fatal or internal error during compilation, you can search the Knowledge Database (KDB) for similar issues. If no workaround is available, we will escalate the issue to the tool specialists for further investigation and provide a workaround or fix.
However, if a workaround exists to resolve the issue, no fix will be provided. (In Quartus Pro, such issues are fixed regardless of workaround availability.)
Regards,
Richard Tan
