Hard copy migration

[Altera_Forum]

Hello all  

 Does anybody know if there is a minimum production quantity to start a migrating from A Stratix to Hard copy devices? In other words is there a reason if a device prodution is at about 1000 pcs a month?  And another one question.. Is there any possible way to migrate from a Cyclone to Hard Copy? Or it doesn't make sence?  Thank you

To determine the best time to transition to Hardcopy, you really need to talk with you sales associate. Many factors come into play; the size of the part, the size of the target HC part, the NRE (cost to produce the hardcopy). 

 The other question - usually not, as the power and costs may not make sense. Formally there is no way to go from Cyclone to Hardcopy, you would nbeed to go from Cyclone to Stratix to Hardcopy.  Send a side e-mail if you wish to dialogue more on this subject. Avatar
