Comparing HardCopy II and Stratix II Companion Revisions
Altera uses the companion revisions in a single Quartus II project to
maintain the seamless migration of your design from a Stratix II FPGA to
a HardCopy II structured ASIC. This methodology allows you to design
with one set of Register Transfer Level (RTL) code to be used in both
Stratix II FPGA and HardCopy II structured ASIC, guaranteeing
functional equivalency.
When making changes to companion revisions, use the Compare
HardCopy II Companion Revisions feature to ensure that your Stratix II
design matches your HardCopy II design functionality and compilation
settings. To compare companion revisions, on the Project menu, point to
HardCopy II Utilities and click Compare HardCopy II Companion
Revisions.

The Comparison Revision Summary is found in the Compilation Report
and identifies where assignments were changed between revisions or if
there is a change in the logic resource count due to different compilation
settings.
Generate HardCopy II Handoff Report
In order to submit a design to the HardCopy Design Center, you must
generate a HardCopy II Handoff Report providing important
information about the design that you want the HardCopy Design Center
to review. To generate the HardCopy II Handoff Report, you must:

Once you generate the HardCopy II Handoff Report, you can archive the
design using the Archive HardCopy II Handoff Files utility described in
“Archive HardCopy II Handoff Files” on page
Archive HardCopy II Handoff Files
The last step in the HardCopy II design methodology is to archive the
HardCopy II project for submission to the HardCopy Design Center for
back-end migration. The HardCopy II archive utility creates a different
Quartus II Archive File than the standard Quartus II project archive
Successfully compile both Stratix II and HardCopy II revisions of
your design
Successfully run the Compare HardCopy II Companion Revisions
utility
You must perform this comparison after both Stratix II and
HardCopy II designs are compiled in order to hand off the
design to Altera’s HardCopy Design Center
