How To Create A Custom Platform Designer Component That Uses Intel IP Components

Hi, I have a VHDL design that instantiates Intel components from the IP Catalog (e.g., RAMs, ROMs, etc.) that I want to turn into a component for use in Platform Designer (Quartus Pro). Is this pos...

    It's probably possible, but not simple, since you need to add all the Intel IP files in the Component Editor. Instead, simply create a new .qsys with the design using IP from the PD IP Catalog. Then you can add it as a subsystem in any other Platform Designer system.

May I know if above suggestion using PD system as subsytem to your custom component workable?

    The solution I'm going to use is to create a Blackbox component in PD to represent the top level VHDL entity and then use a TCL file to include the VHDL and IP Catalog files in the project.

    It would be nice if there was better integration between the IP Catalog and PD, or an official Intel explanation how to do what I originally asked how to do.
