How to Design HardCopy Stratix Devices
HardCopy Timing Optimization Wizard
After you have successfully compiled your design in the
HARDCOPY_FPGA_PROTOTYPE, you must migrate the design to the
HardCopy Stratix device to get a performance estimation of the
HardCopy Stratix device. This migration is required before submitting
the design to Altera for the HardCopy Stratix device implementation. To
perform the required migration, on the Project menu, point to HardCopy
Utilities and click HardCopy Timing Optimization Wizard.
At this point, you are presented with the following three choices to target
the designs to HardCopy Stratix devices (Figure 5–3).
■ Migration Only: You can select this option after compiling the
HARDCOPY_FPGA_PROTOTYPE project to migrate the project to a
HardCopy Stratix project.
You can now perform the following tasks manually to target the
design to a HardCopy Stratix device. Refer to“Performance
Estimation” on page 5–12 for additional information about how to
perform these tasks.
● Close the existing project
● Open the migrated HardCopy Stratix project
● Compile the HardCopy Stratix project for a HardCopy Stratix
device
■ Migration and Compilation: You can select this option after
compiling the project. This option results in the following actions:
● Migrating the project to a HardCopy Stratix project
● Opening the migrated HardCopy Stratix project and compiling
the project for a HardCopy Stratix device
■ Full HardCopy Compilation: Selecting this option results in the
following actions:
● Compiling the existing HARDCOPY_FPGA_PROTOTYPE
project
● Migrating the project to a HardCopy Stratix project
● Opening the migrated HardCopy Stratix project and compiling
it for a HardCopy Stratix device
