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 it before you can
compile the IP variation in the current version of the Quartus II software. Many Altera IP cores support
automatic upgrade.
The upgrade process renames and preserves the existing variation file ( .v , . sv , or .vhd ) as _
BAK.v , .sv , .vhd in the project directory.
Table 1: IP Core Upgrade Status
Corrective Action IP Core Status
You must upgrade the IP variation before compiling in the current version of
the Quartus II software. Required Upgrade IP
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. Optional Upgrade IP
