Hmm, I've never even thought of adding other IP to a custom component design. Usually I just take HDL code that I want to work in a Platform Designer system and turn it into a custom component, then connect the custom component to other IP/components. I think option 3 is the only thing you can do.
Is there a reason why you can't pull those IP out of your custom component and connect to them?

Hi,
Yes normally the way is much easier. But this time I made a quite complex component (a SATA host controller which uses a PHY and xcvr reconfig). Originally i had these two components separately in my qsys but then I came to the conclusion that my linux driver for this IP needed to control several parameters available through the management slave interfaces.
Therefore I customized the whole to one IP block.... which is also a more logical approach...
And I thought there would be an "advanced newbie" way to add the generated files to my custom design.
