Quartus(R) Prime Design Suite Pro Edition Version 24.3.1 README.TXT =================================================================== This readme.txt file accompanies the Pro editions of the Quartus Prime Design Suite Version 24.3.1. IMPORTANT: Quartus Prime Design Suite Pro Edition Version 24.3.1 supports only the Agilex 5 and Agilex 7 device families. If you need support for the Arria 10, Cyclone 10 GX, or Stratix 10 device families, use a different version of the Quartus Prime Design Suite Pro Edition software. Although we have made every effort to ensure that this version of the Altera FPGA software operates correctly, you can encounter problems that we have not discovered. If you have a question or problem that is not answered by the information provided in this readme.txt file, go to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/overview.html for additional support resources, or submit a service request at https://premiersupport.intel.com.
