What versions of the Quartus II development software support Cyclone III FPGAs?
The Quartus II Subscription software and the free Quartus II Web Edition software version 7.0 and later offer design capability for Cyclone III FPGAs. Programming file generation for Cyclone III FPGAs will be supported in a subsequent software release. The Quartus II development software version 7.0 includes new updates to the SOPC Builder system development tool and the Nios® II embedded processor family to support Cyclone III FPGAs. Updates have also been made to the TimeQuest timing analyzer and SDC timing constraints in support of Cyclone III FPGAs for quick timing closure of high-speed source synchronous interfaces (such as DDR and DDR2) and clock multiplexing design structures. With the PowerPlay power analysis and optimization feature, you can automatically achieve lower power in your design with a push-button compilation.
