The Excalibur Board uses an Apex 20k, which is over 20 years old!!

The last version of quartus to support this part is Quartus 9 (which is 9 years old!)

I suggest you throw this board away, and build with something more modern and more capable.

Something like this?

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/cyclone-10-lp-evaluation-kit.html

that costs $99 is far more capable than the board you are going to try and use.
