Updating Cygwin for Quartus II 13 - only Windows 8.1 a higher

There is a compatibility issue that causes old versions of Cygwin to fail to run on Windows 8.1 and higher. This affects all of Altera’s tools that use Cygwin, such as Altera Monitor Program and Nios II EDS. To solve this issue, the Cygwin that is installed with Quartus II must be updated as follows.

• Download the patch cygwin_patch.zip
• Extract the contents of cygwin_patch.zip to your Quartus II install directory, overwriting existing files. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Cygwin are included in the zip file; extract both of these versions to your Quartus II install folder. The default path to the Quartus II install folder is "C:\altera\13.1\quartus".

• DCE_Libraries.zip- DE2 board. ZIP contains also pin assignment for DE2 board and clock definitions (DE2.sdc).
• DCE_forDE115.zip - DE115 board libraries. (updated Feb 21th, 2022)
