Hi!

I am facing same issues in QSYS 12.1 (SP1). File paths in Component Editor's "Synthesis Files" list change after selecting the specific source files (in my case 4 Verilog files). The wizard automatically adds additional folders in between.

e.g 3C25/fpga_src/subf/xx1.v changes to 3C25/3C25/fpga_src/subf/xx1.v

Adding another file adds another level to the first added file path: 3C25/3C25/3C25/fpga_src/subf/xx1.v

Same a GZoinker, my source files are located in a separate directory rather than the main .qsys System file.

I have also seen this behavior on earlier versions (12.0, 12.1).

Any ideas why this happens? When finishing the Component Editor, QSYS wants to access the wrong paths, which does not work since they do not exist.

Thanks!

EDIT: Workaround could be to manually edit paths in the xxx_hw.tcl file of the component. Then open again the Component Editor and continue to create the component.

It turned out that at least module name (tab1) should be identical to top level module name (tab2). Maybe either description below should be equal to module name either.
