Run the HardCopy II Companion Revision Comparison tool to
compare the HardCopy II design against the FPGA prototype. The
comparison tool checks for structural equivalency and consistency
between the two revisions.
If there are no mismatches, you can prepare the HardCopy II design
files for transfer to the Altera Design Center.
In addition to design verification in the Quartus II software, the
flow can generate files required to perform Static Timing
Analysis (STA) in Synopsys’ Primetime.
