Components
Upgrade is optional for this IP variation in the current version of the Quartus
II software. You can upgrade this IP variation to take advantage of the latest
development of this IP core. Alternatively you can retain previous IP core
characteristics by declining to upgrade. Refer to the Description for details
about IP core version differences.
Upgrade Unsupported
Upgrade of the IP variation is not supported in the current version of the
Quartus II software due to IP core end of life or incompatibility with the
current version of the Quartus II software. You are prompted to replace the
obsolete IP core with a current equivalent IP core from the IP Catalog. Refer to
the Description for details about IP core version differences and links to
Release Notes.
1. In the latest version of the Quartus II software, open the Quartus II project containing an outdated IP
core variation. The Upgrade IP Components dialog automatically displays the status of IP cores in
your project, along with instructions for upgrading each core. Click Project > Upgrade IP
Components to access this dialog box manually.
2. To upgrade one or more IP cores that support automatic upgrade, ensure that the Auto Upgrade
option is turned on for the IP core(s), and then click Perform Automatic Upgrade. The Status and
Version columns update when upgrade is complete. Example designs provided with any Altera IP core
regenerate automatically whenever you upgrade an IP core.
