Comparing HardCopy II and Stratix II Companion Revisions

Altera uses the companion revisions in a single Quartus II project to

maintain the seamless migration of your design from a Stratix II FPGA to

a HardCopy II structured ASIC. This methodology allows you to design

with one set of Register Transfer Level (RTL) code to be used in both

Stratix II FPGA and HardCopy II structured ASIC, guaranteeing

functional equivalency.

When making changes to companion revisions, use the Compare

HardCopy II Companion Revisions feature to ensure that your Stratix II

design matches your HardCopy II design functionality and compilation

settings. To compare companion revisions, on the Project menu, point to

HardCopy II Utilities and click Compare HardCopy II Companion

Revisions

You must perform this comparison after both Stratix II and

HardCopy II designs are compiled in order to hand off the

design to Altera’s HardCopy Design Center

The Comparison Revision Summary is found in the Compilation Report

and identifies where assignments were changed between revisions or if

there is a change in the logic resource count due to different compilation

settings.

Generate HardCopy II Handoff Report

In order to submit a design to the HardCopy Design Center, you must

generate a HardCopy II Handoff Report providing important

information about the design that you want the HardCopy Design Center

to review. To generate the HardCopy II Handoff Report, you must:

■

Successfully compile both Stratix II and HardCopy II revisions of

your design

■

Successfully run the Compare HardCopy II Companion Revisions

utility

Once you generate the HardCopy II Handoff Report, you can archive the

design using the Archive HardCopy II Handoff Files utility described in

“Archive HardCopy II Handoff Files” on page 5–29.

Archive HardCopy II Handoff Files

The last step in the HardCopy II design methodology is to archive the

HardCopy II project for submission to the HardCopy Design Center for

back-end migration. The HardCopy II archive utility creates a different

Quartus II Archive File than the standard Quartus II project archive
