Migrating FPGA Code from Cyclone IV to Cyclone III

Hi All, I would like to know if I can migrate a Cyclone 4 FPGA design to a Cyclone 3 FPGA? If yes, what are the steps involved in migration? For Cyclone 4, I'm using EP4CE115F29 device....

Firstly you could migrate your design and after that your device :

- regenerate all the megawizard component by targeting the cyclone 3 (NIOS, FIFO, PLL etc)

- change the device to cyclone 3, specify the relevant configuration mode, special signals eventually used (crc_error, init_done), power dissipation modes etc...

- compile the design with Quartus

- allocate the IO banks and pins to be ok with your PCB board placement
