Quartus MAX7000 and EPF10k10 legacy software

Hi everyone!

Couldn't find an answer anywhere but it looks like Quartus II 9.0sp2 / 9.0sp1 web editions have been completely scrubbed from the internet. I have some legacy applications that while old, still use these devices..

Any chance I can find legacy builds somewhere?

Thanks!

    Hello -

    I am also looking for a copy of Quartus II Web Edition ver 9.0 and all service packs. Please let me know if were able to locate.

    Thank you...

    Looks like Intel removed access to early versions of Quartus/MaxPlus as of 26 Jun 2020. Go to this page:

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/downloads/download-center.html

    and read the Product Discontinuation Notice referenced. You are SOL for v9.0.

    Version 13.0sp1 is still available for download and it supports the MAX7000 series (I know this because I use it routinely for EPM7000 designs).

    Looks like the support for Flex 10K (EPF10K) is kaput as it stopped at version 9.0.

    As a point of reference, WHENEVER I use a part/family in a design I download and archive all available documents and software from the vendor and back it up on DVD. Ditto for the computer system OS if it requires a legacy OS to run (like WinXP).

      Hi!

      Thanks for the reply! I actually had archives of 9.0/9.1 as those were the last ones that had integrated simulators, which made it really easy. They also both still support the EPF10K10 FPGAs..

      I'll keep searching my backups but if anyone has a 9.0sp2 somewhere, I'd be much obliged!

      Thanks!

        Same here - have basic install but missing service packs (SP1 & SP2). Please let me know if you are able to locate. Thanks.

    Hi All,

    It looks as if I may be the oldest of all here!

    I am looking for the right to re-use my Altera FLEX EPF81500AQC240-2 device that I designed with in late 1990s; any advice and suggestions, please?

    Thank you for helping.
