A Tale of Two Cyclones

[roeekalinsky]

Much confusion surrounding Cyclone 10 LP vs. Cyclone 10 GX seems to come up on a regular basis. This is the result of unfortunate naming decisions, which I assume were made by marketing people and not engineers. Anyhow, let's try to clear things up for everyone:

• The Cyclone 10 GX family is architecturally closely related to the Arria 10 family.
• The Cyclone 10 LP family is architecturally closely related to the Cyclone IV E family.
• The Cyclone 10 GX family and the Cyclone 10 LP family are not architecturally closely related to each other, nor to the Cyclone V family.

And as for tool chain support:

• The Cyclone 10 GX family is supported in Quartus Pro, but not Quartus Standard Edition.
• The Cyclone 10 LP family is supported in Quartus Standard Edition, but not Quartus Pro.

Cheers,
