Table 1–2. Altera IP Core Device Support Levels
FPGA Device Families HardCopy Device Families
Preliminary support—The IP core is verified with
preliminary timing models for this device family. The IP core
meets all functional requirements, but might still be
undergoing timing analysis for the device family. It can be
used in production designs with caution.
HardCopy Companion—The IP core is verified with
preliminary timing models for the HardCopy companion
device. The IP core meets all functional requirements, but
might still be undergoing timing analysis for the HardCopy
device family. It can be used in production designs with
caution.
Final support—The IP core is verified with final timing
models for this device family. The IP core meets all
functional and timing requirements for the device family and
can be used in production designs.
HardCopy Compilation—The IP core is verified with final
timing models for the HardCopy device family. The IP core
meets all functional and timing requirements for the device
family and can be used in production designs.
