Running Quartus + Questa on Apple Silicon

The current methods to run an Intel FPGA workflow on Apple Silicon involve two possibile approaches:

  • Using a WoA Virtual Machine: Performance is terrible (already in amd64 Windows platforms is terrible, adding a virtualization layer on top of it leads to eternal compilation times) + space wasted for all the Microsoft bloatware
  • Using a Docker Container: Performance is better than WoA, but the USB drivers are not working

Running Ubuntu on UTM with Rosetta enabled should tackle these problems
