Altera Flex10K support ?

Quartus V9.1 sp2 (the last sensible version before the excellent internal simulator was dropped) supports Flex10k.

Should still be available on Altera website.

Thanks a lot. I finally found the old version page on Altera website.

Note, Altera often supports parts long after they stop showing up in the device selection panel. I have a board with somewhat rare Flex10K100 on it (specifically, a 10K100GC503-3), that quit showing up in the drop downs a very long time ago. The original design was done in MaxPlusII!

I have to manually edit the QSF with the specific part number to get it to work. However, if you get the part number exactly right, Quartus will set everything else up for you. Even the pin mapper works correctly.

It's as if Altera doesn't want to advertise support for these older parts, but keeps it anyway. This may not apply to the Flex10K for current versions, but as a general rule, Altera (and Xilinx) often support obsolete parts this way.

Hi It was actually V9.0, as stated in this 9.1 note

The thing is that since I'll be working on a new design (and I haven't used these parts for years, and I changed company since) I don't have any QSF example. I'll work with Quartus v9.0 at first and see if I can migrate the design to a more recent version.

Maybe they don't want too much advertising to avoid getting requests for the parts they don't supply anymore.

Thanks for the tip Nicolas
