 The last version that supports Cyclone II fpga architecture is Quartus 13.0sp1. That version does not support the Cyclone V architecture. All quartus versions that support Cyclone V do not support Cyclone II. So unfortunately there is not one Quartus version that supports both fpga architecutures.  The last version that supports Cyclone II fpga architecture is Quartus 13.0sp1.

 These versions are required for the Altera DE1 board which is used in the digital design lab and is available in the library. This Quartus version is the last version that supports the Altera Cyclone II FPGA which is on that board. So do not install a later version if you want to use that board. The quartus software will be installed at "/opt/altera/13.0sp1". These versions are required for the Altera DE1 board which is used in the digital design lab and is available in the library.
