What are the license requirements for “Quartus Prime Programmer and Tools”? Is it free to use or do we need an extra license to preinstall it on a productsy?

Details:

We want to install “Quartus Prime Programmer and Tools” on an embedded HW/SW system for updating an Intel Arria 10 SoC in the field via JTAG. Usage conditions:

  • Installed package: QuartusProgrammerSetup-20.1.0.711-linux.run
  • Intel download link: https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/20.1/?edition=lite&platform=linux&product=qprogrammer#tabs-4  -->  “Quartus Prime Programmer and Tools”
  • Installed on: X86 PC with Intel Xeon CPU and Debian Linux OS
  • Usage: Programming an Intel Arria 10 SoC via USB-JTAG. The Arria 10 SoC is also part of the product.
  • Used JTAG Programmer: Embedded JTAG USB blaster based on MAX 5 and FTDI integrated into the Arria 10 board.
  • The embedded JTAG USB blaster was licensed from Intel by the Arria 10 board manufacturer.

I have a similar question. We need to upgrade FPGAs in the field and the most expedient, reliable, mechanism is through a USB Blaster and Intel tools.

Another query was made:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-FPGA-Software-Installation/License-requirement-for-Quartus-Prime-Programmer-Standard/m-p/1223841

 

Neither of these have received a response other than 'we'll look into it'.

Is there an answer to this? Can we freely ship the standalone programmer?

Hi,

unfortunately the original question was never answered by an Intel representative.
I'm also interested in the answer. 

Best regards,

Additional question, if we want to use OpenOCD, how about the license status of USBBlaster 2 driver firmware, specifically quartus/linux64/blaster_6810.hex?
