  1. You can Integrate the Qsys System into the Quartus II Project
  2. Your custom component to Qsys system

    Thank you Anand,

    I am familiar with that method, but it actually using qsys with some external component.

    But I actually ment: doing it without using qsys at all with that component.

    Is it possible ?

    Thank you,
