The Qsys environment will generated code into the synthesis/submodule folder. When it does this it will overwrite all the files in that folder. So if u make a change in a file in the submodule folder and the regenerate Qsys for some other reason your changes will be lost. You should edit the original files for the component of interest that Qsys is reading to generate your design. Then the changes will be carried over into your submodule folder
