Using Clocklock+Clockboost on EPF10K100GC503-3DX with Quartus 9.0SP2. How?

Hi,

according to my test, Quartus 9.0 (also 9.0 SP2) doesn't know EPF10K100GC503-3DX, only EPF10K100GC503-3 (same device without PLL feature). altclklock is only supported for EPF10KE family in Quartus 9.0.

Neither Quartus nor MAX+Plus II allow to chose EPF10K100GC503-3 or EPF10K100GC503-3DX in device selection, but if manually set, it's recognized, the latter only for MAX+Plus II.

So it looks like you are stuck with MAX+Plus II to activate clock boost feature for this specific device.

Regards Frank

    Thanks. Which version of MAX+Plus did you use?
    And: Maybe importing the -3DX project created with MAX+Plus into Quartus would do the trick?
