HLS Compiler and Quartus versions compatibility and trouble with Visual Studio

[alxb]

Good day! I've installed HLS Compiler 21.1. I can't execute examples. And I have license on Quartus 14.1 version only. Will HLS Compiler run with that version or it works only with latest Quartus versions? And also while running init_hls.bat script can't detect Visual Studio 2017 on drive but I've already installed VS 2017. Path of VS is on drive D:/ (D:\Microsoft Visual Studio) Is that critical? And I've chosed not all components of VS to reduce needed hard drive space. What components of Visual Studio are critical for HLS Compiler?

Hey, Quartus gurus! Are anybody here?..

Hi ,

You can use HLS even with the Quartus Prime Lite edition if you are concerned about the licensing.

There are different options available with Quartus to make it work with different IDEs.

Regarding the older Quartus version support , we generally test Quartus versions up to 3 versions Prior to the HLS version.

Thanks and Regards

Anil
