Dumb Newbie Tool Chain Q

Am using Quartus and SOPC Builder and have created a custom component. If I modify the code associated with the custom component, do I need to edit it in the component editor, regenerate the SOPC builder file and then compile in Quartus? Or will compiling in Quartus take care of it?

    If you change the ports on the component, eg., add a new input or output, then you need to edit the _hw.tcl file to export the new signal or edit the Avalon-MM signals (eg., wider address bus).

    If you are just changing the implementation/internals of the component, then just re-synthesize.

    Cheers,
