Altera University Program Design Software
One of the goals of the Altera® University program
is to grant educational institutions easy access to today's leading
design software and industry-standard EDA tools. By making these
products readily available for instruction and academic research,
Altera is helping the electronics industry speed ideas to reality.
Altera's University Program offers a variety of
commercial-grade design software and EDA tools for use with Altera
Development and Education boards, research projects, and other joint
activities, including:
About Quartus II Software
The Quartus II design software is Altera's primary development
system and supports the newest Altera FPGAs and CPLDs, as well as
nearly all older device families. It provides a comprehensive
environment for digital design and is an ideal platform for learning
both basic and advanced design techniques. The Quartus II software
includes SOPC Builder,
which enables you to rapidly and easily build and evaluate embedded
systems, including the Nios II soft processor and related peripherals.
About MAX+PLUS II Software
Because MAX+PLUS® II software is intended only for legacy designs, support for it is limited. It does not support the MAX II CPLDs, Cyclone® FPGAs, or Stratix® FPGAs. The Quartus II software should be used for all new applications.
Design Software Licensing
Licenses for the Quartus II and MAX+PLUS II software can be generated online. Visit the Altera University Program software licensing page and follow the instructions.
