You can package IP from a variety of sources, such as from a collection of RTL source files, a Vivado IP integrator block design, or an entire Vivado Design Suite project.
The location of the packaged IP can be added to the IP Repository section of the Settings dialog box which can be accessed through the Vivado IDE. After a repository of one or more IP has been added, the IP core(s) from the repository will be shown in the IP catalog.

For example, the Create and Package IP wizard takes you step-by-step through IP packaging and lets you package IP from a project, a block design, or a specified directory. You can also create and package a new template AXI4 peripheral for use in embedded processor designs.
