19 years agoMigrating devices - Power and Ground on I/Os?
When using device migration, I find that I/O pins on some devices are supposed to be power or ground on other devices. Is it okay to connect I/O pins to power or ground on my board?

19 years agoThere are no spreadsheets available, you'd have to make those yourself. Altera doesn't do it because there are too many combinations between all of the devices. The best way, and sure way to get it right, is to use Quartus II. Just make a simple project with minimal I/O pins, choose a device and add all of the migration devices you want. Compile the project and you'll have a <project_name>.pin file with all the user available pins shown as GND* or GND+. The power and ground pins will be defined as well. There's your migration compatible pin list.
