11 years agoIn general you can delete the .qip and .sip files. However, sometimes you need the .qip file, eg., when that file contains the paths to the components that are used to make up the component you're actually using. I'd recommend moving the .qip file, removing it from your Quartus project, and then trying to synthesize. If that works, then you're good-to-go!
The other way I sometimes do this, is use the MegaWizard to create an instance, and then look at the generated code. If the code just creates an instance of a component, then you can copy the body of the generated code into your code, clean it up, and use it directly. This is a good way to get consistent generics settings. Cheers, Dave
