HardCopy Stratix Design Utilities

To migrate FPGA designs to fixed-function devices quickly and effortlessly, Altera offers HardCopy Stratix devices that are functionally identical to a corresponding Stratix FPGA's design. To migrate a high-density Stratix FPGA design to an equivalent HardCopy Stratix device, Altera requires output files directly from the Quartus® II software. However, all the required design tools are available in the Quartus II software version 3.0 and later, so there is no need for costly ASIC development tools.

Table 1 provides a list of design utilities available for HardCopy Stratix devices.
