If the design is the same, can I use the sa...
Hello CNiclaes,
"But when I change the target device from 5CEBxxx to 5CEFxxx in Quartus and compile the same design, the generated programming files are exactly the same!"
- Yes I think it's might look like a same one but the targeted device has been changed.
- To confirm this parameter, you can check your QSF file and observe the targeted device parameter.
"That's why I ask a confirmation from Intel that such a design will work on either chip?"
- Yes the design should be working fine with the targeted device.

Regular ContributorHi CNiclaes,
When you're changing the device from variant 5CEBA9F23C7N to 5CEFA9F23C7N, you need to change the targeted device in the Quartus project as well.
If the selected device is different, then the hardware might not working correctly.
You can refer to the link below if you want to know the different between those two devices.
