5. Creating Platform Designer Components

You can create a Hardware Component Definition File (_hw.tcl) to describe and package IP components for use in a Platform Designer system.
Note: Intel® now refers to Qsys as Platform Designer (Standard).
A _hw.tcl describes IP components, interfaces and HDL files. Platform Designer provides the Component Editor to help you create a simple _hw.tcl file.

Refer to the Demo AXI Memory example on the Design Examples page for full code examples that appear in this chapter.

Platform Designer supports Avalon® , AMBA* 3 AXI (version 1.0), AMBA* 4 AXI (version 2.0), AMBA* 4 AXI-Lite (version 2.0), AMBA* 4 AXI-Stream (version 1.0), and AMBA* 3 APB (version 1.0) interface specifications.
