sopc component editor and tcl files

Hi I'm looking to confirm what I think : with sopc component editor we can generate TCL file with TCL we can't refresh the component in the sopc component builder? Best regards

In my experience, the component generator is not very smart. Use it only to generate the first-version of the Tcl file needed to have SOPC/Qsys recognize your component. After that, just use a text editor to edit the file. The _hw.tcl file can be written to have call-backs that check the parameters entered via the SOPC/Qsys GUI, etc. The _hw.tcl files are much easier to manipulate directly than by using the component editor GUI.

Cheers,
