IP Settings File

When you generate an IP core, the IP Manager creates a settings.json file. This file contains all of the parameter settings for the customized IP.

You can use this settings file to create another instance of the core with the same settings, or you can modify it to create another core with slightly different settings. For example, you can quickly create FIFOs of varying depths by re-using an existing settings.json file.

To create another, modified, instance of the IP core:
  1. Right-click the IP folder in the Project pane.
  2. Choose Import IP from the pop-up menu.
    Note: You can also import IP in the IP Editor window.
  3. Browse to the settings.json file for the IP core you want to use as a starting point and click Open. The IP Configuration wizard opens.
  4. Enter the module name for the IP core.
  5. Configure the IP core as usual and generate the IP.
