The FIR compiler is no longer supported in either the Standard or Advanced blocksets.
After installing Quartus® II and DSP builder versions 14.0 and higher, you will not see the FIR compiler among MegaCore functions in the Simulink Library Browser, under Altera DSP Builder Standard Blockset/MegaCore Functions. Unfortunately it's still shown in the DSP Builder Standard User Guide.
https://www.altera.com/en_US/pdfs/literature/hb/dspb/hb_dspb_std.pdf#page=70
Though there is no longer FIR compiler support in DSP Builder, there are FIR filters available under the Advanced Blockset>Filters category in the Library browser.
If you need to use other blocks from the Standard library, please refer to Chapt. 9 "DSP Builder Standard and Advanced Blockset Interoperability" in the DSP Builder Advanced handbook.
There is also a design example on this found under:
<install dir> \quartus\dsp_builder\DesignExamples\Demos\CombinedBlockset\demo_adapted_ad9856
This will not be fixed in a future Quartus release.
