2.3. Generating IP Cores

You can quickly configure a custom IP variation in the parameter editor. Use the following steps to specify IP core options and parameters in the parameter editor.
IP Parameter Editor


  1. In the IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog), locate and double-click the name of the IP core to customize. The parameter editor appears.
  2. Specify a top-level name for your custom IP variation. The parameter editor saves the IP variation settings in a file named <your_ip> .qsys. Click OK. Do not include spaces in IP variation names or paths.
  3. Specify the parameters and options for your IP variation in the parameter editor, including one or more of the following. Refer to your IP core user guide for information about specific IP core parameters.
    • Optionally select preset parameter values if provided for your IP core. Presets specify initial parameter values for specific applications.
    • Specify parameters defining the IP core functionality, port configurations, and device-specific features.
    • Specify options for processing the IP core files in other EDA tools.
  4. Click Generate HDL. The Generation dialog box appears.
  5. Specify output file generation options, and then click Generate. The IP variation files generate according to your specifications.
  6. To generate a simulation testbench, click Generate > Generate Testbench System.
  7. To generate an HDL instantiation template that you can copy and paste into your text editor, click Generate > HDL Example.
  8. Click Finish. Click Yes if prompted to add files representing the IP variation to your project. Optionally turn on the option to Automatically add Quartus Prime IP Files to All Projects. Click Project > Add/Remove Files in Project to add IP files at any time.
    Figure 2. Adding IP Files to Project


    For Arria 10 devices and newer, the generated .qsys file must be added to your project to represent IP and Qsys systems. For devices released prior to Arria 10 devices, the generated .qip and .sip files must be added to your project for IP and Qsys systems.

    The generated .qsys file must be added to your project to represent IP and Qsys systems.

  9. After generating and instantiating your IP variation, make appropriate pin assignments to connect ports.
