1.
What tools do customers need to migrate a PLD to a
HardCopy design?
Customers do not need to invest in any additional
design tools for HardCopy designs. Customers are
simply required to submit the Quartus II software
output files as specified in the "Customer
Deliverables" section of the HardCopy Overview
page. The migration is 100% Altera's responsibility.
2.
Will Altera provide a gate-level HardCopy netlist
to the customer for functional verification?
No. Altera does not plan to release
this netlist to our customers.
3.
Are any utilities available for customers to check
the design before submitting it for HardCopy migration?
A design utility called Design Doctor
will be available in Quartus II version 1.2 software.
Until then, customers are expected to fill out a design
questionnaire that covers all the critical aspects
of the migration process. At that point, the design
is checked thoroughly by Altera.
4.
Will the Verilog netlist file and .sdf file be released
to the customer for verification?
No. This is not needed as Altera guarantees
that the migration will be successful.
