4.6.2. Customizing IP Presets

You can optionally define and save a custom set of parameter settings as an IP preset, and then apply the preset whenever you add an instance of the IP component to any system.
Note: Preset pin assignments are not yet integrated with other Quartus Prime software pin assignment tools, such as Pin Planner, Assignment Editor, Chip Planner, and Interface Planner. These other Quartus Prime pin planning tools do not currently show or allow you to modify any preset pin assignments that you make in Platform Designer. You can only view and edit preset pin assignments in Platform Designer.

IP presets are only compatible with the version of the IP for which they were created. Applying a preset for a different version of the IP may result in invalid or incomplete parameterization. Platform Designer does not verify preset and IP version compatibility.

Follow these steps to save a custom IP preset:

  1. In IP Catalog, double-click any component to launch the parameter editor.
  2. To search for a specific preset to base initial settings, type a partial preset name in the search box.
  3. In the Presets tab, click New to specify the Preset name and Preset description.
  4. In the Board dropdown, specify the target board. The Default setting specifies the current board as the target board for this preset.
    Note: You can specify multiple boards for a preset, provided that the preset parameters and assignments are applicable to all boards in the preset.
  5. Under Select parameters to include in the preset, enable or disable the parameters you want to include in the preset.
  6. Specify the path for the Preset file that preserves the collection of parameter settings. The location of the new .qprs preset file is added to the IP search path automatically.

  7. Click Save.
  8. To apply the preset to an IP component, click Apply. Preset parameter values that match the current parameter settings appear in bold.
