Quartus/Platform designer instantiate my custom IP HDL as a new_component_cmp and results in error

[Khalidov]

Hi,

Each time I build my Quartus project that contains a .qsys with my custom IP used, it results in a syntax error where instead of using my custom entity name it uses new_component_cmp for the HDL generated by my system design (platform design). So, each time I have to replace/correct it manually and then it passes the syntesis.

Is there a ways around this silly issue?

Example: in auto-generated file soc_system_avalon_custom_leds_0.vhd this line is wrong:

avalon_custom_leds_0 : component new_component_cmp

The correct one should be:

avalon_custom_leds_0 : component avalon_custom_leds

Thank you in advance

Khalid.

Hi,

In the component editor, you probably have to change the Name and Display Name for custom ip. Check screenshot

Thanks,

Hi Sheng,

I did change that while creating my custom IP the first time. Also, I just locked everywhere in the editor and all looks good. See my screenshot below:

Thanks

Hi,

Have you check does the _hw.tcl correct? If not may be can modify that.

[Khalidov · Accepted solution]

Yes, the issue seems to be in the _hw.tcl, this line:

set_fileset_property QUARTUS_SYNTH TOP_LEVEL new_component.

Solution:

1- change it manually to use top entity name:

set_fileset_property QUARTUS_SYNTH TOP_LEVEL avalon_custom_leds

2- I noticed in the editor, if you click Analyze HDL bouton, it fixes it:

Thank you for you help and time @ShengN_Intel
