Installing devices in Quartus 10

Again, Quartus and Linux: the eternal fighting.

Today's episode: where the hell are my devices? Why I'm getting "No devices installed" ?

Ok, so you have installed Quartus and, in your first project, you realize that don't have any device available. It's possible install only devices you realy need using quartus_sh script.

All devices has .qda extensions and are available inside "devices/subscription" directory, created during installation.

./quartus_sh --qinstall -qda /(directory_to_devices)/cyclone.qda
./quartus_sh --qinstall -qda /(directory_to_devices)/cycloneii.qda
./quartus_sh --qinstall -qda /(directory_to_devices)/(your_device_here).qda

Detail: sometimes you could get some error, but just repeat the command that should works.
