Upgrade IP Components Dialog Box (Project Menu) |
This dialog box appears when you open a Quartus II project that contains outdated IP components. You can open this dialog box by right-clicking an IP component in the IP Components tab in the Project Navigator, and then clicking Upgrade IP Component. |
Allows you to upgrade Altera IP components that are outdated in your design. You must upgrade outdated components for the design to compile successfully.
Columns in the dialog box list the entity name, IP component name, version of the Quartus II software that created the IP component, IP file name, and a description indicating whether the IP component should be upgraded. Clicking a column header sorts the information in ascending or descending order.
Icons indicate whether IP components are up-to-date or should be regenerated.
Command-line support for IP component upgrade is available with the quartus_sh utility in the following format:
quartus_sh --ip_upgrade [<options>] <project_name>
The table below describes the options available for the quartus_sh utility.
