Hi all,
I just started using Quartus II as a complete newbie. Unfortunatelly I got stuck with the following problem: I installed the free Quartus II Web Edition Version 10.0 Build 262 on an Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS system (32-bit). When I'm running the New Project Wizard, there is an error message: "Quartus II Settings File contains an illegal device family -- using default device family Stratix". On the Family & Device Settings page, I can only select the Arria GX family. The CycloneIII family and all the other device families I selected during the installation are missing. I tried reinstalling Quartus, but it still doesn't work. On an other computer, which is running exactly the same version of Ubuntu and Quartus, it all works fine. How can I fix that?! Thanks for your help, Jonas LindmannLink Copied

Look here: 10.0_quartus_linux.sh (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24563)
Apparently the installer stops at some point installing the device families. But you can install the needed (or all) families manually.- Mark as New

I just had a look at the two Threads 10.0_quartus_linux.sh and Altera Installer on Fedora 12 (and other Linux distros). Unfortunately I didn't get an idea of how to install device families manually and how to get rid of the device families which are supposed to be illegal.
I tried some stuff using the --update argument of the installer but didn't have any success. Could you please give me a hit how to start the manual installation? Thanks for any help! Jonas Lindmann P.S.: This is an extract of the log-file which seems relevant to me:Installing package : Arria II GX Family ...

This shows how I had to install the device families:
sudo bash /home/josy/altera/10.0/quartus/bin/quartus_sh --qinstall -qda "/home/josy/Documents/10.0_quartus_linux/altera_installer/bin/../../devices/subscription/arriagx.qda" -show_qt_progres
Replace arriagx.qda by the family you want to install. Use your appropriate paths.

Hi all,
I' ve a similar problem with Quartus 2 Web Edition Version 10.1 on winxp and on win7(64-bit) I've installed only cyclone II device family (i'm working on it) and when i start the New Project Wizard, the error message is: Quartus II Settings File contains an illegal device family -- using default device family Cyclone IV GX" but then the wizard lets me choose the right device...what's wrong?- Mark as New

Hi, I have exactly the same problem as Phil82, using Windows 7 64-bit, with only Cyclone II installed and so on. I think it may be related to upgrading to a newer version of Quartus. I however made sure to uninstall completely the older version before installing the new one.
Where is this 'Settings File' located ? Is this error important ? Does anyone know how to solve it ? Thank you- Subscribe to RSS Feed
