Upgrading IP Cores

IP core variants generated with a previous version of the Quartus II software may require upgrading

before use in the current version of the Quartus II software. Click Project > Upgrade IP Components to

identify and upgrade IP core variants.
The Upgrade IP Components dialog box provides instructions when IP upgrade is required, optional, or

unsupported for specific IP cores in your design. You must upgrade IP cores that require upgrade before

you can compile the IP variation in the current version of the Quartus II software. Most Altera IP cores

support automatic upgrade.
Note: Upgrading IP cores for Arria 10 and later devices appends a unique identifier to the original IP

core entity name(s), while leaving the IP instance name(s) in tact. There is no requirement to

update these entity references in any supporting Quartus II file, such as the Quartus II Settings File

(

.qsf

), Synopsys Design Constraints File (

.sdc

), or SignalTap File (

.stp

). The Quartus II software
