■ Tethered—run the design containing the licensed IP for a longer time or
indefinitely. This requires a connection between your board and the host
computer.

design times out.
IP Catalog and Parameter Editor
The Quartus II IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog) and parameter editor help you easily
customize and integrate IP cores into your project. You can use the IP Catalog and
parameter editor to select, customize, and generate files representing your custom IP
variation.

The IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog) and parameter editor replace the MegaWizard™
Plug-In Manager for IP selection and parameterization, beginning in Quartus II
software version 14.0. Use the IP Catalog and parameter editor to locate and
paramaterize Altera IP cores.
The IP Catalog lists IP cores available for your design. Double-click any IP core to
launch the parameter editor and generate files representing your IP variation. The
parameter editor prompts you to specify an IP variation name, optional ports, and
output file generation options. The parameter editor generates a top level Qsys
system file (.qsys) or Quartus II IP file (.qip) representing the IP core in your project.
You can also parameterize an IP variation without an open project.
Use the following features to help you quickly locate and select an IP core:
■ Filter IP Catalog to Show IP for active device family or Show IP for all device
families
.
■ Search to locate any full or partial IP core name in IP Catalog. Click Search for
Partner IP
