10x for your reply

even if the migration is well done, I can't change the FPGA with another one because of the routing.

imagine that you replace the Cyclone4-115 with a lower one (75 or 55) on the same card, the problem we have is that some IO pins of the cyclone4-75 are a VCCint for the cyclone4-115; and the VCCint voltage is in the middle rang of the IO voltage what mean we have a metastability :(
