Porting from Xilinx to Altera

Hi @Mathiazhagan

We have an internal tool that will help to convert the design using UltraScale and UltraScale+ to our Agilex device.

There is limitations for other Xilinx devices: example some primitives are not supported.

Also, the Xilinx project files will not added to the Intel project:
- The Xilinx Vivado generated files (including IPs, Xilinx templates, or any other files that are under Xilinx license)
- The constraints
- Block Design files

Plus you have 44 ip cores of Xilinx, all of it will be black box.

If you want me to convert the design, you will need to provide me the .xpr project files. Once converted, I will send you back the .qpf files and you can start work on your design.

To define a parameter outside the module of a HDL, the Quartus software allows you to assign global, project-wide default values for parameters on the Default Parameter Settings page in the Settings dialog box. You may checkout this.

Dear Richard Tan,

Thanks for saying that you will be converting the modules if i share u the xpr file, Is it possible to convert the complete project from xpr to qpf and can expect that it will work fine

May I compress the complete xilinx project with required support files and can i share it to you, Will u able to convert it

With Regards,

Dear Richard Tan,

I will be sharing you the entire project as a ZIP File where you can extract and run it on a vivdo software that to be converted into intel quartus Project, I should be really very much thankful to you if u can convert the entire project into an Quartus project.

The total size of the project is 378MB, Shall i upload it on a drive and share u the link of the drive from where it can be downloaded , will u be able to download it from the drive link

With Regards,

Dear Richard Tan,

I have attached the link of the project files from where it can be downloaded, kindly go through and do the needful, awaiting for your favorable response

Hi @Mathiazhagan,

I have attached the intel_project.zip in the ftp.

Please remind that the tool could only convert the design to Agilex device which is in Quartus Pro. If you plan to use in other Quartus version, you may try to open a new project and add the respective files.

Also Device xc7a35tftg256-1 is not supported. Some primitives/macros may not detected during the conversion.

You will need to check the x2i_primitive_lib.sv file to know which primitive has been blackbox and you will need replace it with an equivalent primitive.

Same goes to the IPs. You will need to instantiate the equivalent intel IPs. e.g. IOPLL, adder,

Best Regards,

Richard Tan

I have re-attached the intel_project.zip. Please kindly check again.

Dear RichardTanSY,

Thanks a lot for converting i don't have the quartus prime pro edition, I have only standard edition of 18.1 how to add the project file by creating new project, The qpf file is not getting added to my project, so will you be able to assist me in this how to do.

With Regards,

V.Mathiazhagan

.qpf for Quartus Pro cant be opened with Quartus Standard so you will need to open a new project and copy the pro .qsf file to your new qsf file to add all the files.
