QUADIR: Set Intel installation pathdefault for quartus lite version: Win OS: C:/intelFPGA_lite - Linux OS: ~/intelFPGA_lite
design_basic_settings.cmd/sh
Settings for the *.cmd files. Following settings are avaliable:
- default for quartus pro version: Win OS: C:/intelFPGA_pro - Linux OS: ~/intelFPGA_pro
- QUARTUS_VERSION: Current Quartus Version (quartus lite version → 19.1 / quartus pro version → 19.4). Don't change quartus version.
- Intel Software will be searched in:

Design Environment: Usage
...
- Run "create_project_win.cmd" or "create_project_linux.sh"
- "<design_name>/settings/desgin_basic_settings.cmd/shtcl" will be copied to basefolder and configured automatically.
- select your Board in "Board selection" section.
- click on "Create project" to generate project for selected board
Manual configuration of the design basic settings (Note: batch/bash files works only in the basefolder of the project, use "create_project_win.cmd"/"create_project_linux.sh" or copy manually):
- Open “<design_name>/settings/ Open “design_basic_settings.cmd/.shtcl” with a text - editor:
Set correct quartus environment:
Example for quartus lite edition:
@set QUADIRQUARTUS_PATH_WIN=C:/intelFPGA_lite (example for Win quartus installation path for Win OS)
QUARTUS_PATH_LINUX=~/intelFPGA_lite (quartus installation path for Linux OS)
@set QUARTUS_VERSION=19.1
@set QUARTUS_EDITION=Lite
Example for quartus pro edition:
@set QUADIRQUARTUS_PATH_WIN=C:/intelFPGA_pro (example quartus installation path for Win OS)
@set QUARTUS_PATH_LINUX=~/intelFPGA_pro (quartus installation path for Linux OS)
QUARTUS_VERSION=19.4
@set QUARTUS_EDITION=Pro
Program Software settings are searched in (e.g. for Win OS):
%QUADIR%%QUARTUS_PATH_WIN%/%QUARTUS_VERSION%/quartus/
%QUADIR%%QUARTUS_PATH_WIN%/%QUARTUS_VERSION%/nios2eds/
Example directory: C:/intelFPGA_pro/19.4/
Attention: Scripts are supported only with predefined Quartus Versionquartus version!
Programming FPGA or flash memory:
- General steps:
