@sstrell yes, yesterday after I sent this msg I've seen that I can open the ‘Component editor’ by selecting under platform designer ‘File’ ‘New Component’ BUT will like to know how to load the existing qsys component to be updated.
What is the best way to update an existing qsys component ? I do NOT want to create a new qsys component or design.
Do you propose updating the _hw.tcl file with a text editor?
I tried updating one of the ports 2 days ago on the _hw.tcl file, I re-run the make file re-compiling/re-synthesizing the whole design including Qsys but the length of the specific port rgmii_rx_clk I downsize to 1 was still 5. I also tried running 'make distclean' and then 'make syn' for a fresh compile/elaboration & synthesis BUT after compilation rgmii_rx_clk was still 5 ie it did NOT accept my changes to the _hw.tcl file
