Looking forward to trying this and learning some fpga programming! I would like to give a head-up about a problem with the Quartus patch however. On my Windows installation (latest 18.1) Quartus comes with source files with both CRLF and LF line endings. This causes the patch to fail with multiple errors like "Hunk #1 FAILED at 34 (different line endings).". The trivial fix of changing the path command to use the --binary flag also fails since some of the target files are CRLF and some are LF.
One suggestion would be to split up the patch files into two parts, one for each line ending. I'm not sure if this is the best (most pragmatic?) approach though.
