File paths in a restored project archive must be relative to the project
directory and you must reference the IP variation .v or .vhd file or .qsys file,
not the .qip file.

2. Click Project > Upgrade IP Components. The Upgrade IP Components dialog

box displays all outdated IP cores in your project, along with basic instructions for
upgrading each core.

3. To simultaneously upgrade all IP cores that support automatic upgrade, click

Perform Automatic Upgrade

. The IP cores upgrade to the latest version. The

Status

and Version columns reflect the update.

Upgrading IP Cores at the Command Line

Alternatively, you can upgrade IP cores at the command line. To upgrade a single IP
core, type the following command:

quartus_sh --ip_upgrade -variation_files

To upgrade a list of IP cores, type the following command:

quartus_sh --ip_upgrade -variation_files
".qsys;.; "

IP cores older than Quartus II software version 12.0 do not support upgrade. Altera
verifies that the current version of the Quartus II software compiles the previous
version of each IP core. The

MegaCore IP Library Release Notes

reports any verification

exceptions for MegaCore IP. The

Quartus II Software and Device Support Release Notes

reports any verification exceptions for other IP cores. Altera does not verify
compilation for IP cores older than the previous two releases.
