refer to the

The Quartus II IP File

The Quartus
Manager, that contains information about a generated IP core. You are prompted to
add this .qip file to the current project at the time of Quartus II file generation. In most
cases, the .qip file contains all of the necessary assignments and information required
to process the core or system in the Quartus II compiler. Generally, a single .qip file is
generated for each MegaCore function and for each Qsys system. However, some
complex components generate a separate .qip file, so the system .qip file references
the component .qip file.
