Adding IP Cores to IP Catalog
The IP Catalog automatically displays Altera IP cores found in the project directory, in the Altera
installation directory, and in the defined IP search path. The IP Catalog can include Altera-provided IP
components, third-party IP components, custom IP components that you provide, and previously
generated Qsys systems.
You can use the IP Search Path option (Tools > Options) to include custom and third-party IP
components in the IP Catalog. The IP Catalog displays all IP cores in the IP search path. The Quartus
software searches the directories listed in the IP search path for the following IP core 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, or a reference to other
directories to search. In general, .ipx files facilitate faster searches.
The Quartus software searches some directories recursively and other directories only to a specific depth.
When the search is recursive, the search stops at any directory that contains an
_hw.tcl
or
.ipx
file.
