Running Quartus on an Apple Mac

Has anyone tried running Quartus on a Mac, using Parallels etc?

Any luck?

Thanks

    Hey,

    I am still using Parallels for Lion (forgot the rev) and running 10.7.2 for several months now (both 11.0 and 11.1)...no issues. I am using the vip suite w/nios on quartus 11.1 with nios sbt 11.1 and system console 11.1....again no issues.

    I haven't tried the ubuntu path...I know you need some special configuration within your cshrc to get quartus to launch...and I know some folks on the forum have done some nice work getting it to run. However, I chose to run the win 7 x64 path and am very happy. I believe fusion will work just as well...just so happened that some other programs my wife needs on my iMac recommend Parallels (autodesk stuff), so I chose parallels.

    Good luck!
