FPGA Upgrade Guide

If you haven’t upgraded FPGAs before, below are some great videos to guide you.

You will need to download Quartus Prime Lite 18.1 Edition, since you are going to target a EP4CE15 FPGA (Cyclone 4).

Do not update to the latest version of Quartus Prime Lite, as the latest version doesn’t support that family of FPGA anymore and the software is very big.

Also, one might want to download only the "Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer and Tools" as opposed to download the whole software by clicking on "Addition Software"

Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition 18.1 for Windows

Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition 18.1 for Linux
