Thanks!

So I managed to get the files in a seperate directory using 

add_fileset_file .//.vhd VHDL PATH /.vhd

That solves issue# 1

Issue# 2 is still there: all files are compiled into one library.

I have tried the following:

  • change the value 
    set %libraryName% "TstoUdp"
    . Which is probably a stupid idea :oops:

  • do a TCL replace action using "get_qip_strings" and "set_qip_strings". But is seems get_qip_strings does not work and that set_qip_strings can only be used to add extra strings, not to replace or change existing ones.

So both do not seem to work.

Of course I could manually change the QSYS generated .qip-file, but that's not the point. I would like to be able to set the library in QSYS or the _hw.tcl.
