Creating PCB based on 10M08 Evaluation Board but with other MAX10 FPGA

[Iukas]

Hello everyone,

for a school project, I want to design a PCB for / around the MAX 10 FPGA. As I'm trying to make my life easier, I am using this (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/max/10m08-evaluation-kit.html) Intel Evaluation Board as a starting point. the FPGA used in the design is the 10M08SAE144C8G. However, it has only 8000 LE, which will not be enough, therefore I'm planning to use 10M16SAE144C8G as a (hopefully) drop in replacement. I think that this will work, why shouldn't it?

All it really is, is a PCB which uses the same layout, but with more of the available GPIOs broken out and preferable the mentioned 10M16SAE144C8G (or even 10M25SAE144C8G). I checked the pinout of both FPGAs and they are the same. Also programming should be the same as far as i know. 

Thanks for reading!

Hello Lukas,

I am taking over this case from previous owner.

You may refer to : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683658/current/i-o-vertical-migration-support.html

Part number you are using is in the vertical migration list. So the replacement should be drop-in replacement. Just change the part number in your Quartus project file and re-compile.

regards,
