Migrate Cyclone to new device

Need to pick a replacement for Altera Cyclone EP1C6T144. I have to use Quartus to reuse my code. What new available device can I use that will allow me to port my code from Quartus.

Hello,


You can reload the design using updated Quartus version. Re-assign the device to the desired device part number, then compile. There might be some warning or error along the way for the Quartus software to compile and adapt from the older device, especially if you have older IP used in previous design. You will need to update the IP then the compilation will be successful. Final step, re-assign the IO pins following your pin assignment on the board design. Then recompile again for the new pin assignment take effect. If everything goes well, the design migration is 90% completed. You may want to proceed for timing analysis using Quartus tool TimeQuest Timing Analyzer.
