Quartus^® Prime IP File (.qip) Definition

The Quartus^® Prime IP File (.qip) is a single file that contains paths for all of the files for an IP core.

The Quartus^® Prime IP File allows you to add an IP core to the project by adding only one file, the Quartus^® Prime IP File, rather than adding all the necessary files individually. You can also remove an IP core from the project by removing just the Quartus IP File.

The Quartus^® Prime IP File uses Tcl syntax and is similar to the Quartus^® Prime Settings File (.qsf). A separate Quartus^® Prime IP File exists for each individual IP core.
