1.10. Upgrading Outdated IP Components in Platform Designer

When you open a Platform Designer system containing outdated IP components, you can retain and use the RTL of previously generated IP components within the Platform Designer system. If Platform Designer is unable to locate the IP core’s original version, you cannot re-parametrize the IP core without upgrading the IP core to the latest version. However, Platform Designer allows you to view the parametrization of the original IP component without upgrading.
To upgrade individual IP components in your Platform Designer system:
  1. Click View > Parameters.
  2. Select the outdated IP component in the Hierarchy or the System View tab.
  3. Click the Parameters tab. This tab displays information on the current version, as well as the installed version of the selected IP component.
  4. Click Upgrade. Platform Designer upgrades the IP component to the installed version, and deletes all the RTL files associated with the IP component.
Figure 40. Upgrade IP Component in your Platform Designer System
To upgrade an IP component from the command-line, type the following:
qsys-generate --upgrade-ip-cores <ip_file>

To upgrade all the IP components in your Platform Designer system, open the associated project in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, and click Project > Upgrade IP Components.
