Presets Tab (Qsys)

You open the Presets Editor in Qsys by clicking View > Presets.

Allows you to create, modify, and save custom component or IP core parameter values as a preset file. You can then apply the parameter values in the preset file to the current component that you are parameterizing. You can share preset files between projects by copying the preset file from one Quartus® Prime Standard Edition project to another.

Qsys groups presets in the Presets Editor as being either a Project preset or a Library preset. Project presets are those presets that you create and modify in the Presets Editor, and are saved as files in the <Quartus® Prime Standard Edition project directory>/ip/presets/ directory by default with an .qprs extension. You can only update or delete Project presets. The Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software loads Library presets during installation.

A preset appears bold when the values of all parameters in the preset match the values in the current settings.

You can use the search box to show only presets that match your search text. If you select the DDR3 SDRAM Controller with UniPHY component, and then type 1g micron 256, the preset list shows only the presets that contain that text.

You can update preset values with the current value of the parameter. The Update Preset dialog box displays the default value, which you can edit, and the current value.

Note: For more information about presets, refer to the Creating a System with Qsyschapter in volume 1 of the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Handbook.
