Changes to Software Behavior
-
Quartus
Prime does not generate programming files as part of the Quartus compilation
process. Depending on your FPGA device, you must use one of the following
tools to generate programming files:
- For Intel® Stratix® 10 devices, use the Programming File Generator tool.
- For other devices, use the Convert Programming File tool.

Latest Known Intel Quartus Prime Software Issues
| Description | Workaround |
|---|---|
If your LC_ALL environment variable does not match the locale
settings (such as LANG), a Perl warning might be generated during IP
generation:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed. This warning also results in IP generation failure. |
Ensure that your operating system locale is set up correctly. In particular, the locale specified with the LC_ALL environment variable must match the locale settings (such as LANG). |
|
When using Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Version 19.1 with Intel® FPGA Download Cable II (formerly USB- Blaster II) or an on-board implementation of the Intel® FPGA Download Cable II IP solution (formerly on-board USB-Blaster II solution), a USB device enumeration error might occur when plugging in the download cable to the computer hosting Quartus software. |
