1.6.5.1.2. IP Component Description Files

The Quartus® Prime software identifies parameterizable IP components in the IP search path for the following files:

  • Component Description File (_hw.tcl)—defines a single IP core.
  • IP Index File (.ipx)—each .ipx file indexes a collection of available IP cores. This file specifies the relative path of directories to search for IP cores. In general, .ipx files facilitate faster searches.
