1.1. New Features and Enhancements
Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software Version 19.1 includes functional and security updates. Keep your software up-to-date and follow the technical recommendations that help improve the security of your Intel® Quartus® Prime installation. Additional security updates are planned and will be provided as they become available. You should promptly install the latest version when it is released.
Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software Version 19.1 includes the following new features and enhancements:
- On Microsoft Windows* systems,
Intel®
Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software transitioned from using Cygwin to
using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS running on Windows* Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
This transition improves the performance, robustness, and security of Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software.
For instructions on installing WSL, see Installing Windows* Subsystem for Linux* (WSL) on Windows* in Intel FPGA Software Installation and Licensing.
1.2. Changes in Device Support
For information about known device issues and workarounds, see the Intel FPGA Knowledge Base.
1.3. Changes to Software Behavior
- Changed hierarchy name for VHDL to remove the "\" escaping of generated hierarchies. If you use VHDL generations, you must update your QSF and SDC assignments.
- Starting with
Intel®
Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software version 19.1, the
Nios® II Embedded Design Suite requires you to
install an Eclipse IDE manually.
