2. To upgrade one or more IP cores that support automatic upgrade, ensure that the Auto Upgrade

option is turned on for the IP core(s), and then click Perform Automatic Upgrade. The Status and

Version columns update when upgrade is complete. Example designs provided with any Altera IP core

regenerate automatically whenever you upgrade an IP core.

3. To manually upgrade an individual IP core, select the IP core and then click Upgrade in Editor (or

simply double-click the IP core name. The parameter editor opens, allowing you to adjust parameters

and regenerate the latest version of the IP core.
