Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition 20.x Suite

The Intel Altera development team is pleased to announce the availability of Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition 20.x Suite. The Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software is optimized to support the advanced features in next-generation FPGAs and SoCs with the Intel Stratix 10, Intel Arria 10, and Intel Cyclone 10 GX device families.


What's New in Intel Quartus Prime Software 20.x


The Quartus Prime Pro Edition Design Software, Version 20.x supports the following device families: Stratix 10, Arria 10, and Cyclone 10 GX. A license is required for all device families except Cyclone 10 GX which does not require a license.

Intel Quartus Prime Design Software is design software that includes everything needed to design for Intel FPGAs, SoCs, and CPLDs. This includes design entry, synthesis to optimization, verification, and simulation. Quartus dramatically increases capabilities on devices with multi-million logic elements, providing designers with an ideal platform for next-generation design opportunities.

Quartus Prime Pro Edition software is optimized to support the advanced features in Intel's next-generation FPGAs and SoCs, starting with the Arria 10 device family. Use the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software when starting a new Arria 10 design or when an Arria 10 design requires features that are only available in the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software.

- Programming support for Arria 10 10AX115 ES3 devices
- A Spectra-Q Hybrid Placer with advanced placement and routing algorithms for more predictable timing closure
- A Spectra-Q Physical Synthesis feature for improved Fmax on designs that require high synthesis effort
- A multi-corner timing visualization feature in the TimeQuest Timing Analyzer
- A logic depth report for early design analysis
- A Periphery to Core Placement and Routing Optimization feature
- Expanded Spectra-Q Synthesis language support for IEEE standards, including SystemVerilog-2005 and VHDL-2008
- The BluePrint Platform Designer for clock and I/O interface planning
- The Rapid Recompile feature now supports Arria 10 devices
- A hierarchical database infrastructure to enable faster and more scalable algorithms for next-generation programmable devices
- Generation of Fitter reports upon completion of each Fitter compilation stage, providing earlier access to design compilation data
- Ability to load post-plan and post-place timing netlists into the TimeQuest Timing Analyzer for earlier analysis, including Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) verification and clock timing analysis

This presentation goes over the new enhancements and features of the first major software release of 2020, Intel Quartus Prime 20.1. New features of Intel Quartus Prime, Intel Advanced Link Analyzer, improvements made to the High Level Design tools, new support for Intel FPGA devices, configuration & programming updates, new intellectual property, and improvements made to the SoC Embedded Design Suite, and open source updates.
