No, I think your method is just a bit more complex. What my last suggestion is just put the handoff folder next to qts i.e. board/altera/abc/qts board/altera/abc/hps_isw_handoff/foo_bar Then once you run maybe "make prepare"? It generates the new c sets. Flow always: make xxxx_defconfig make prepare <- this is the place it should be automated. As the user defines the board then what you need just place it new to the qts so it even removes the -o -i user parameter. And maybe leave the foo_bar naming for user to enter as it could be renamed by the user during the Quartus project build. Do you think this is good? Brian
