    Hello


    Thank you for submitting your question in Intel Community.

    I'm Adzim will assist you in this forum.


    Regarding to your question, I think it's still okay to use with any Quartus version as long as the IP and device are supported by Quartus.

    Unless the IP is already EOL, then need to use previous Quartus version.

    For Cyclone IV device, this is quite old and there is not much IP development/improvement for this device anymore.

    Even some of the IPs have been EOL in current Quartus version.

    I think for Cyclone IV device, it's better to use in previous Quartus version such 18.1 and below due to IPs availability.


    Regards,
