Module names and file names generated by Qsys (Beta) for each component instance are dependent on parameter settings

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Critical Issue

Description

Module (or entity) names and file names generated by Qsys for each component instance are dependent on parameter settings. If you change the parameters of a component and then regenerate synthesis or simulation files, a new file is generated with a different entity, module, and file name. The file from any previous parameterization is not removed from the output directory.

Resolution

Avoid defining assignments or scripts that depend on a component\'s module or entity name. Instead, rely on your component instance name. If your IP or component generates any files (such as Tcl scripts) that must be run after generation, be sure that you use the latest generated file to reflect the most recent parameterization. If you do not need older generated files, you may delete them from your output directory.
