You can use the following options with the ip-catalog utility:

Table 205.  ip-catalog Command-Line Options
Option Usage Description
--project-dir= <directory> Optional

Finds IP components relative to the Quartus® Prime project directory. By default, Platform Designer uses ‘.’ as the current directory. To exclude a project directory, leave the value empty.

--type Optional

Provides a pattern to filter the type of available plug-ins. By default, Platform Designer shows only IP components. To look for a partial type string, surround with *, for instance, *connection*.

--name=<value> Optional

Provides a pattern to filter the names of the IP components found. To show all IP components, use a * or ‘ ‘. By default, Platform Designer shows all IP components. The argument is not case sensitive. To look for a partial name, surround with *, for instance, *uart*

--verbose Optional

Reports the progress of the command.

--xml Optional

Generates the output in XML format, in place of colon-delimited format.

--search-path=<value> Optional

If you omit this command, Platform Designer uses a standard default path. If you provide this command, Platform Designer searches a comma-separated list of paths. To include the standard path in your replacement, use "$", for example, "/extra/dir,$".

<1st arg value> Optional Specifies the directory or name fragment.
--jvm-max-heap-size=<value> Optional

The maximum memory size that Platform Designer uses for when running ip-catalog. You specify the value as < size ><unit >, where unit is m (or M) for multiples of megabytes or g (or G) for multiples of gigabytes. The default value is 512m.
