Quartus stand alone programmer download link doesn't work. It gives an error that file not found. Version 9.1

​Hi Support, I am trying to download the stand-alone programmer from the following link for Quartus 9.1. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/downloads/software/prog-software/91.htm...

Hi,

I also realized the same behavior. I would like to suggest that, try to use latest used device compatible Quartus version & edition.

Try by using standalone programmer for Quartus 18.1 Lite edition from 'Additional Software' from link below,

http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/18.1/?edition=lite

Please let me know, if you have any different concern.

Regards,

Vicky

​Hi,

I have observed some vague behaviour when I tried to program the legacy .pof file (generated with quartus 9.0 tool) using 13.1 programmer. Checked program and verify boxes on programmer, program says success and verify fails. Examine returns wrong checksum indicating programming also was not done properly.

Above behaviour is not observed when programmed using Quartus 9.0 programmer. Hence I want to give the supplier the stand alone programmer link which works properly.

I was under impression that any version Quartus programmer can be used to program .pof file generated by old versions of quartus.

Another issue I found is typing on Intel community site takes so long as the response is very slow. It took 45 minutes to type this message!

Thanks
