Hi,

is it possible to use a .pof file (generated for EPCS4) to generate a .pof file for EPCQ4A?

I have a very old Cyclone III design where the archived production database only has a .pof and .jam file.

The original implementation has been security certified (isolation of design blocks into fpga regions).

Regenerating the design to get a .sof file may require re-certification which will be very painful .

Regards,

Elwyn
