Definition: Device Support Level
Altera IP cores provide the following support for Altera device families:
• Preliminary support—Altera verifies the IP core with preliminary timing models for this device family.
The IP core meets all functional requirements, but might still be undergoing timing analysis for the
device family. This IP core can be used in production designs with caution.
• Final support—Altera verifies with IP core with final timing models for this device family. The IP core
meets all functional and timing requirements for the device family. This IP core is ready to be used in
production designs.
Performance and Resource Utilization
Resource Utilization
The following resource estimation is obtained by compiling the LL 10GbE MAC with the Quartus II
software targeting a commercial Stratix V. These estimates are based on the number of ALMs needed
minus the recoverable and unavailable ALMs due to the virtual I/Os (in Quartus II Fitter terms). The
estimates also apply to other supported devices.
