2.17. Signal Tap File Version Compatibility

If you open a .stp file created in a previous version of the Quartus® Prime software in a newer version of the software, you can no longer open that .stp file in the previous version of the Quartus® Prime software.

If you open an Quartus® Prime project that includes a .stp file from a previous version of the software in a later version of the Quartus® Prime software, the software may require you to update the .stp configuration file before you can compile the project. Update the configuration file by simply opening the .stp in the Signal Tap logic analyzer GUI. If configuration update is required, Signal Tap confirms that you want to update the .stp to match the current version of the Quartus® Prime software.

Note: The Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software uses a new methodology for settings and assignments. For example, Signal Tap assignments include only the instance name, not the entity:instance name. Refer to Migrating to Quartus® Prime Pro Edition for more information about migrating existing Signal Tap files (.stp) to Quartus® Prime Pro Edition.
