Probably the best approach to test different versions of qsys design is as follows:

  1. Generate new .qsys (also generates new .socpinfo)

  2. Add this new .qsys to design and remove the previous one

  3. Instantiate this new .qsys in the top module (also comment the previous one ... and optionnally modify port list)

  4. Compile design in Quartus

  5. Program board with newly generated .sof

  6. In Eclipse: generate new bsp based on new .socpinfo

  7. In Eclipse: specify new bsp in application properties

  8. In Eclipse: rebuild application ... and run it on board

So, afterwards, when one needs to switch to a different configuration (already built), it should iterate trough steps 2 ... 8.

Am I correct ?
