Cannot use hdlsetuptoopath with Quartus 22.4 Pro

The latest Quartus Pro version is 22.4, and it is installed without creating the file 'qpro.exe'. The file 'quartus.exe' is created, and it is the executable to run Quartus Pro. However, there is an issue with the Matlab command 'hdlsetuptoopath' that looks for the file 'qpro.exe' when using 'Intel Quartus Pro'.

Anyway, I can type either of the the two Malab commands below, but I will get an error on each.

hdlsetuptoolpath('ToolName', 'Intel Quartus Pro', 'ToolPath', 'C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.4\quartus\bin64\qpro.exe');

or

hdlsetuptoolpath('ToolName', 'Intel Quartus Pro', 'ToolPath', 'C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.4\quartus\bin64\quartus.exe');

Both of these commands generate an error looking like below.

Error using setupToolPath

Input tool path 'C:\intelFPGA_pro\22.4\quartus\bin64\quartus.exe'

does not point to a valid Intel Quartus Pro executable 'qpro.exe'.

Please specify the full path to the synthesis tool executable.

For example:

hdlsetuptoolpath('ToolName', 'Intel Quartus Pro', ...

'ToolPath', 'C:\intelFPGA_pro\18.0\quartus\bin64\qpro.exe');

Can the 'Intel Quartus Pro' be changed to look for 'quartus.exe' instead?

Hi Nate,

I understand that you are facing issue with 'hdlsetuptoolpath' command when using Intel Quartus Pro version 22.4.

Unfortunately, MATLAB only supports Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard 21.1 and Intel Quartus Pro 21.3 version of the Intel Quartus Third-party synthesis tools. Hence, you are facing an error when running the above commands.

More information on the supported Third-party synthesis tools can be found in the following documentation link:

Third-Party Synthesis Tools and Version Support

Hope this helps!!
