To specify an exact device to use, run the following script:

quartus_sh -t make_qii_design.tcl [device_name]

This script generates a qii directory containing a project called ed_synth.qpf. You can open and compile
this project with the Quartus II software.

Generating Simulation Design Example

The

make_sim_design.tcl

generates a simulation design example along with tool-specific scripts to compile

and elaborate the necessary files.

To generate a simulation design example, run the following script at the end of the IP core generation:

quartus_sh -t make_sim_design.tcl

To generate simulation design example for a VHDL-only simulator, run the following script:

quartus_sh -t make_sim_design.tcl VHDL

This script generates a sim directory containing one subdirectory for each supported simulation tools. Each
subdirectory contains the specific scripts to run simulation with the corresponding tool.

The simulation design example is made of a driver connected to the generated IP core. The driver generates
random traffic and internally checks the legality of the outgoing data.

IP Migration Flow for Arria V, Cyclone V, and Stratix V Devices

The IP migration flow allows you to migrate the ALTLVDS_TX and ALTLVDS_RX IP cores of Arria V,
Cyclone V, and Stratix V devices to the Altera LVDS SERDES IP core of Arria 10 devices.

This IP migration flow configures the Altera LVDS SERDES IP core to match the settings of the ALTLVDS_TX
and ALTLVDS_RX IP cores, allowing you to regenerate the IP core.

Some IP cores only support the IP migration flow in specific modes. If your IP core is in a mode that
is not supported, you may need to run the IP Parameter Editor for the Altera LVDS SERDES IP core
and configure the IP core manually.

Note:

Migrating Your ALTLVDS_TX and ALTLVDS_RX IP Cores

To migrate your ALTLVDS_TX and ALTLVDS_RX IP cores, follow these steps:

1. Open your ALTLVDS_TX or ALTLVDS_RX IP core in the IP Parameter Editor.
2. In the Currently selected device family, select Arria 10.
3. Click Finish to open the Altera LVDS SERDES IP Parameter Editor. The IP Parameter Editor configures

the Altera LVDS SERDES settings similarly to the ALTLVDS_TX or ALTLVDS_RX IP core settings.

4. If there are any incompatible settings between the two, select new supported settings.
5. Click Finish to regenerate the IP core.
