Targeting Designs to HardCopy APEX Devices
Targeting
Designs to
HardCopy APEX
Devices
Beginning with version 4.2, the Quartus II software supports targeting
designs to HardCopy APEX device families. After compiling your design
for one of the APEX 20KC or APEX 20KE FPGA devices supported by a
HardCopy APEX device, run the HardCopy Files Wizard to generate the
necessary set of files for HardCopy migration.
The HardCopy APEX device requires a different set of design files for
migration than HardCopy Stratix. Table 5–5 shows the files collected for
HardCopy APEX by the HardCopy Files Wizard.

Refer to “Generating the HardCopy Design Database” on page 5–21 for
information about generating the complete set of deliverables required
for migrating the design to a HardCopy APEX device. After you have
successfully run the HardCopy Files Wizard, you can submit your design
archive to Altera to implement your design in a HardCopy device. You
should contact Altera for more information about this process.
The methodology for designing HardCopy Stratix devices using the
Quartus II software is the same as that for designing the Stratix FPGA
equivalent. You can use the familiar Quartus II software tools and design
flow, target designs to HardCopy Stratix devices, optimize designs for
higher performance and lower power consumption than the Stratix
FPGAs, and deliver the design database for migration to a HardCopy
Stratix device. Compatible APEX FPGA designs can migrate to
HardCopy APEX after compilation using the HardCopy Files Wizard to
archive the design files. Submit the files to the HardCopy Design Center
to complete the back-end migration.
