Upgrading IP Cores at the Command Line

Alternatively, you can upgrade IP cores at the command line. To upgrade a single IP
core, type the following command:

quartus_sh --ip_upgrade -variation_files <my_ip_path> <project>

To upgrade a list of IP cores, type the following command:

quartus_sh --ip_upgrade -variation_files

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

MegaCore IP Library Release Notes

reports any verification

exceptions for MegaCore IP. The

Quartus II Software and Device Support Release Notes

reports any verification exceptions for other IP cores. Altera does not verify
compilation for IP cores older than the previous two releases.

DSP Builder Design Flow

DSP Builder shortens digital signal processing (DSP) design cycles by helping you
