In the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.1, when migrating a composed IP that contains the discontinued Nios® II processor from the previous software version, the IP Upgrade feature reports the following error:
“IP component no longer supported. Compilation of IP not supported in current software version.”
This problem is due to the discontinued Nios® II processor.
Workaround:
Recommended action is to implement Nios® V processor IPs with equivalent functions in a new composed IP.
Alternatively, add the following property in the *hw.tcl of the existing composed IP,
set_module_property SUPPORTED_EOL_SUB_IPS {altera_nios2_gen2}
The discontinued Nios® II processor IP core is render unavailable in the Quartus® Prime IP Catalog after the Last Time Shipments. Interested parties are encouraged to refer to the Nios II Processor Product Discontinuation Notice (PDN2312).
