I would broadly interpret that as older Arria device families: Arria, Arria II, Arria V.

I didn't realize that SP doesn't work with A10 in Standard.

Hi Steve, I don’t know if that’s a bug but I can’t blame the customer for expecting Signal Probe to work with Arria 10 based on what the documentation says. For all the products it just says Cyclone, MAX , Arria so it’s fair to say the expectation when using Quartus Standard would be that it applies to every Arria, every MAX and every Cyclone device. Maybe the documentation should get fixed to make this clear? Also, when I use Signal Probe in Quartus Pro they changed the way it’s implemented – it’s like your instantiating IP to use this feature. I think this is a lot clunkier way to use Signal Probe. Whoever decided to change this interface should be demoted 😊
