I think so. I was hoping to use the BTS-GUI to modify parameters of my core serdes design. But even changing the bit rate makes BTS report it as incompatible. Seems like that makes the development part of the development board pretty useless.
I'm of the opinion that BTS is really meant as a starting point for development and an introduction to the kit. You really have to move over to development in Quartus at some point. Many people try to rely on BTS but I don't think it's meant for regular development.
Since you're able to use Quartus Pro with the C10GX, you can use the new board-aware flow in Quartus and Platform Designer so your I/O (locations, I/O standards, etc.) gets set up for this board when you create a new project and there are IP presets specific for the board as well.
