Stratix 1 to Arria V conversion

Here's what I'd recommend;

1. Download Quartus 3.0sp1 and rebuild the design.

This step confirms that you have a known-good starting point.

2. Copy-and-paste the project to a new folder and open that copy with the last version of Quartus that supports the Stratix 1 series (which might be 14.0, but you'd have to check).

3. Rebuild the project; fix issues related to old IP and missing SDC constraints.

At this point you have basically upgraded the Stratix 1 design. You'd then work on the switch to Arria V.

Pin constraints and other assignments can be written into a Tcl script. At the end of this process, it would be possible for you to have a Tcl script that can synthesize the project code for either the Stratix 1 board or the new Arria V board. That Tcl script would decide which constraints to pull into the project.

For now, stick with the GUI and gain a sense of how many issues you're going to face.

Cheers,
