+f) Generate IP
+
+The IP needs to be generated before it can be simulated or synthesized. The Quartus IP is generated using Qsys or the Megawizard.
+Initialy the GUI was used to create and generate the IP, but once it works and is stable then the IP can be generated uisng a script.
+Therefore each library with IP has a dedicated generate_ip.sh, for example:
+
+  > cd $RADIOHDL/libraries/technology/ip_stratixiv/mac_10g
+  > ./generate_ip.sh
+ 
+The IP for all libraries of a certain FPGA technology can also be generated automatically in one command using:
+  
+  # ip_stratixiv 
+  > cd $RADIOHDL/libraries/technology/ip_stratixiv
+  > ./generate-all-ip.sh
+
+  # ip_arria10

 The Quartus unb_* bash commands for $UNB have also been ported to $RADIOHDL. They use quartus 11.1 so they only support Stratix IV and UniBoard1.
 For Arria10 and UniBoard2 these commands will have to be ported to an equivalent in Python. The following Quartus run_* bash commands are kept in
