New Features and Enhancements

Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software Version 22.4 includes functional and security updates. Keep your software up-to-date and follow the technical recommendations that help to improve the security of your Intel Quartus Prime installation.
Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software Version 22.4 includes the following new features and enhancements:

  • Added support for new Intel Agilex™ devices. For details, refer to Changes in Device Support on page 12.
  • Added new design example discovery feature that provides a single point of entry into FPGA design examples within Intel Quartus Prime and Platform Designer. The design examples come from various offline and online sources, including examples provided as part of your Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition installation and examples available in the FPGA Design Store.
  • Added new board awareness feature in Platform Designer that enables faster design creation when targeting Intel and third-party FPGA boards. The board awareness feature provides preconfigured IP and board settings to help get your design started quickly.

Disk Space and Memory Recommendations

A full installation of the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software requires up to 140 GB of available disk space.
Configure your system to provide additional virtual memory equal to the recommended physical RAM that is required to process your design. This additional virtual memory effectively doubles the total effective memory available to process
your design.
Note: Peak virtual memory might exceed these recommendations. These recommendations are based on the amount of physical memory required to achieve runtime within 10% of that achieved on hardware with an infinite amount of RAM.
