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

Hi! I recently started experimenting with a dinosaur*: EPF10K100GC503-3DX *Yes... I know it's old but I got some and it's "just for show". ;-) In order to use this device I learned that I need to...

Hi,

I used most recent V 10.23. When importing the project to Quartus, device EPF10K100GC503-3DX was changed to EPF10K100GC503-3. An attempt to compile the design gives an error like "altclklock not supported for device family".

My conclusion is that EPF10K100GC503-3DX or other possibly existing EPF10K device with PLL feature wasn't supported in any Quartus version up to latest version supporting Flex10 family V 9.0 SP2. EPF10KE*-X devices are however supported.

If somebody has other knowledge, please report.

Regards Frank

    Thanks for the information. It's a pity that Quartus doesn't support the additional features.

    I wonder if the a bitstream compiled for -3 will still run on a -3DX device? (I do not have the possibility to check that yet).
