Not all migration scenarios have the same level of complexity in the 80 paths shown in Table: UltraScale to UltraScale+ FPGA Migration Paths by Package. Table: UltraScale Device Migration Scenarios outlines various scenarios in various degrees of complexity.

Migration from a Kintex or Virtex UltraScale FPGA into a Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA built with a five row tall SLR is seamless compared to migrating into a device made up of SLRs that are four rows tall. However, all migration paths are supported as long as the customer plans upfront on the extra considerations needed to make this switch successful.

An example of an easy and seamless migration scenario is from the VU095 to the V3P where both devices are monolithic. Similarly, migrating from the KU115, VU125, VU160, or VU190 into the VU5P, VU7P, or VU9P is also seamless and straightforward because they are based on SLRs that are five rows tall. Extra consideration is needed to migrate to the VU11P or VU13P because these devices consist of SLRs that are four rows tall.
