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.
