Supported RHEL version for Quartus

[UmarM]

Hi,

I am trying to work out the supported versions of RHEL for various versions of Quartus prime as we are using version 20.4, 21.1,21.3,21.4 and 22.x on RHEL 7.7 and now we want to upgrade the underlying OS from RHEL 7.7 to RHEL 8.7 but according to Software Operating System (OS) Support Information | Intel Table 3, the supported version listed for RHEL 8 is RHEL8.2 only. I have attached a snapshot from the same page.

Can any one please confirm if they have used the later versions of RHEL 8, are they supprted and intel has not updated the page yet. or is there an other link that shows the compatible OS versions for different versions of Quartus Prime Pro.

Thanks and Regards,

The OS webpage information is correct.

Please use Quartus Pro version 23.1 onwards if you plan to upgrade to Red Hat(*) Enterprise Linux(*) 8.7

@RichardTanSY_Intel unfortunately we cannot use Quartus Pro version 23.1 for all and that is due to backward compatibility issue with some of the previously deployed application and its integration.

That was the reason I did ask that the versions shown in the attached picture are for that particular version of RHEL or other versions of RHEL are compatible as well. If you can answer that question then it will be great.

Thanks

The attached picture indicates that the Quartus is supported only for that particular RHEL version.

While you can attempt to run it on other RHEL versions, it's important to note that we would not be able to provide any technical support for any issues encountered on unsupported versions.

Hi @RichardTanSY_Intel ,

Thank you for the reply, Yes I can see in the attached picture that for version 23.1 is listed as supported version with multiple versions of RHEL but my question is still there that what about the previous versions of Quartus. I have also found in the documentation on 2.3. Software Requirements (intel.com) under Software requirement it says in Table 1 for OS as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8 and lists the RPM packages required for them. It does not specify any specific version of RHEL 7 or 8. I have attached a screen shot of that here so please can you check it again and then confirm as what you are telling me is I know from that table in the previously attached picture but what this documentation is saying is different.

Thank you,

Regards,

Umar

The document stated "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8" mean that if you are using either RHEL 7.x or 8.x, then you will need to install the Prerequisite stated in the table. That does not mean that it will support the RHEL 7.0 or 8.0.

You will need to refer to the Operating System Support page to get the most up-to-date FPGA software operating system requirements, stated in the section 2.1. Minimum Hardware Requirements.

There is also a readme.txt (available at Operating System Support page) that you can download and check which specific OS is supported for each Quartus software version (attached below is v21.4).

@RichardTanSY_Intel Thank you, that would give me enough information for putting forward my use case with the technical team.

Appreciate your help.

@UmarM 

You can use Quartus Standard 23.1, which was released last week and comes with RHEL 8.7 support.
