Modifying an IP Variation
You can easily modify the parameters of any Altera IP core variation in the parameter
editor to match your design requirements. Use any of the following methods to
modify an IP variation in the parameter editor.
Upgrading Outdated IP Cores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.
