  • New timing features including hierarchical grouping of design rule checking (DRC), rule tagging and filtering, and a DRC waiver mechanism

  • New ease-of-use reports for static timing analysis, design closure, synthesis, and undefined entities

  • Additional cross-probing and runtime improvements for reports that allow you to locate SDC constraints in a file

  • Faster ECO compilation for post-fit tap targets in Signal Tap II Logic Analyzer†

  • A new Flow-Resume feature

  • Improved GUI display compatible with higher resolution monitors

  • Accelerated remote debug over Ethernet and PCIe connections (as opposed to JTAG) using an instantiated Nios® II processor

  • A new feature that allows you to mark signals for debug (Beta) during RTL code development

  • Updates to embedded development software and other development tools including:



    • BSP Editor Added to Platform Designer

    • Support for U-Boot 2020.10
