8 years agoHi Marc,
All looks fine recheck the following points. To migrate the configuration devices successfully, you need to do the following: 1.Identify a compatible EPCQ device • Package pin count—migration can only be done to a device with similar pin count. • Capacity of device—migration can only be done to a device at least the same capacity. Check the image attached (figure-1)https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=14297 Your device is matching the 1st requirement. 2.Verify the device specifications. Check Vcc,VI,Vo,Frequency. 3.Follow the steps in the software settings guideline a. Recompile the configuration bitstream to obtain the SRAM object file (.sof). b. Convert the .sof to a JTAG indirect configuration (.jic) or a Programer Object File (.pof) files. Note: Select AS x1 configuration mode when converting the programming file.Select the correct EPCQ device to migrate to during this step. c. Program the .jic file into the EPCQ device using Quartus II Programmer.

I have been trying also to migrate from the EPSC4 to the EPSQ4 with a Cyclone II design.
I have used the Quartus : CONVERT PROGRAMMING FILE tool:
but under the Config Device : there is NO Option for the EPCQ4 device, it only has EPCQ16/32/64/128/256 as selections, but NO EPQ4 ????
can you give your thoughts please
