    As long as Qsys (now called Platform Designer) can "see" a .qsys file, it gets listed in the IP catalog. For it to see the file, it needs to be in the same directory as the current .qsys, in a directory named ip one level down from the current .qsys file, or in a custom location specified in the tool's options.

    There's not much to explain. Where have you placed the .qsys file that you want to appear as a system you can add to another system?

    This is called hierarchical system design, so there has to be an already completed system that you are adding as a component in another system.
