Is it possible to create a parametarizable Megafunction of my own designs in Quartus ? I would like to be able to add my own designs into MegWizard Manager that can be instatiated within *.BDF files as graphic entities with configurable properties (similar to the LPM_XXX functions).
Thnx
Step one is to learn vhdl or verilog. Once you have working synthesis code it is easy to make a quartus graphic symbol for it. It is also easy to add generic options in the code. However, if the top ports change, you have to remake the symbol.

Hi Mike
your answer is not direct to the original posters question, agreed it may actually be what he wanted to know, but - THERE IS NO WAY to make your own MEGAWIZARD plugins that would show up in MegaWizard manager (not using only Quartus) and that was the initial question.
I think that creating new megawizard functions is only possible with some extra info/tools available only to AMPP members, not with using normal Quartus.
Making a vhdl/verilog module and symbol for it is sure trivial, as you said already

True, but if I became a AMPP member, step one would be to write some lpm style hdl code like this:
An lpm module uses hdl strings to collect the GUI settings.
Yes. And probably the best solution for the OP.
