3.1. Design Migration

There are two methods for migrating a design between a standard Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA and an Intel® Stratix® 10 I/O Limited (IOL) FPGA.

Design Migration Method 1: Change the Device OPN

  1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, click Assignments > Device and select your targeted device.
  2. You have the flexibility to change location and pin assignments, if desired. Click Yes when prompted, to have the Intel® Quartus® Prime software remove location and I/O assignments, or click No to keep your existing assignments.

Design Migration Method 2: Use the Migration User Interface

The Migration User Interface helps in checking device compatibility and provides a comparison table—accessible from the Pin Migration View in the Pin Planner—showing migration results between the devices chosen for migration.

  1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, click Assignments > Device.
  2. Click the Migration Devices button at the bottom-right of the Device window.

  3. In the Migration Devices dialog box, choose the compatible migration device that you want to target.

  4. The Pin Migration View is available in the Pin Planner, and facilitates comparison between migration devices; it provides the following information:
    • Pin number
    • Migration devices
    • Pin finder
    • Migration result
    • Show only highlighted pins
    • Show migration differences
    • Export
    • Show column
    Open the Pin Migration View in the Pin Planner, by clicking View > Pin Migration Window. You can access detailed information by right-clicking your selection in the Pin Migration View.
