Example 1-1: Upgrading IP Cores at the Command Line
You can upgrade IP cores that support auto upgrade at the command line. IP cores that do not
support automatic upgrade do not support command line upgrade.
• To upgrade a single IP core that supports auto-upgrade, type the following command:
quartus_sh –ip_upgrade –variation_files <my_ip_filepath/my_ip>.<hdl>
<qii_project>
Example:
quartus_sh -ip_upgrade -variation_files mega/pll25.v hps_testx
• To simultaneously upgrade multiple IP cores that support auto-upgrade, type the following
command:
quartus_sh –ip_upgrade –variation_files “<my_ip_filepath/my_ip1>.<hdl>;
<my_ip_filepath/my_ip2>.<hdl>” <qii_project>
Example:
quartus_sh -ip_upgrade -variation_files "mega/pll_tx2.v;mega/pll3.v"
hps_testx
Note: IP cores older than Quartus II software version 12.0 do not support upgrade.
Altera verifies that the current version of the Quartus II software compiles the
previous version of each IP core. The Altera IP Release Notes reports any verifica‐
tion exceptions for Altera IP cores. Altera does not verify compilation for IP cores
older than the previous two releases.
