Warning at Standard 25.1 by Arria 10

Hi all.

recent Queatus Prime Pro 25.3.1 drops Arria 10 support. (no Arria 10 support files in individual download page)

But latest Standard 25.1 warns at compile Arria 10 project, by these message

Info (24153): Support for Arria 10 devices is deprecated in the Quartus Prime Standard Edition software. For new Arria 10 designs, use the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software. For existing Arria 10 designs, continue to use the Quartus Prime Standard Edition software.

Is this due to the difference in release dates between 25.3.1 and 25.1?

Will we no longer see this warning when Standard 25.3 is released in the near future?

    Hi,

    I read the warning so that 25.1 Std. or possibly a succeeding 25.x Std. version is the latest Quartus Standard version supporting Arria 10 series.

    This has nothing to do with 25.3.1 Pro, a special update for Agilex FPGA.

    It has been also recently announced that separate Quartus Std. development will be dropped in the future, but without a schedule yet.  Personally I'm not sure if we'll see a 26 Std. version at all.

    Thoughts of a Quartus user.

    Regards Frank

    25.3 Pro is the latest Pro edition for Arria 10.  25.3.1 is not necessary for Arria 10.

    My concern is that Arria 10 support will be removed from the Standard version in the future.

    You might say that I could just use 25.3 Pro, but even with 25.3 Pro with the 0.27 patch, crashes continue to occur during elaboration.

    For the time being, we plan to use 25.1 Standard for the project we are developing, but I am worried that when we need the optimization features of the Pro version, there will be no Pro version available.

    I would like Altera to be transparent about device and development tool support. I hope that the current situation is temporary.

      I’ve checked internally. For version 27.1, all devices will be available. For the smaller version, 26.1.1, only a limited number of devices are supported.

      To confirm, with the main version 27.1, all devices will be available. Does this address your concern?
