How to update custom components in Qsys

Is there a way to update custom components in Qsys without having to delete them and re-add? I update the HDL, and want to update the system, so far as far as I can tell I have to update my HDL code,...

I believe you simply need to "Generate" your system again in order to copy your latest HDL files. If you are modifying the _hw.tcl as well, you would need to File->Refresh prior to that.

The Qsys command line executables are covered in the qsys_intro.pdf, search for "ip-generate".

If your HDL+_hw.tcl code is relatively simple, you can also simply copy the HDL files to the synthesis/submodules/ directory manually or as part of a script.
