The process of transferring a design from an ACEX^® 1K, APEX^™ II, APEX^™ 20K, FLEX 10KE, MAX^® 3000, MAX 7000, or Stratix^™ device to a different device in the same device family. You can transfer a design from the design's target device to a larger or smaller FineLine BGA^® device or to a larger or smaller device with equivalent pin-outs, while maintaining the same board layout and pin assignments. For example, you can transfer a design from a FineLine BGA FLEX 10KE device, such as the EPF10K100EFC484-1 device, to a smaller FineLine BGA FLEX 10KE device, such as the EPF10K30EFC256-1 device. Or, you can transfer a design from a FLEX 10KE device, such as a EPF10K100EQC240-1 device, to a larger FLEX 10KE device with equivalent pin packages, such as the EPF10K130EQC240-1 device.

You specify migration devices for a device with the Migration Devices dialog box, which is available from the Device page of the Settings dialog box (Assignments menu).

Migration is also called "device migration."
