13.23.14 Using Design Block Cores from the Catalog - Schematic Entry
Use cores to:
- Create high-level modules, such as counters, multiplexors, multipliers, etc. that are optimized for Microchip FPGAs.
- Create system-level building blocks, such as filters, FIFOs, and memories. These can be instantiated into your schematic, Verilog design, or HDL design.
To generate cores for your schematic:
- Choose a core from the Catalog. Double-click to open the configuration options.
- Select a core type (if necessary).
- Configure the core.
- In the Save As dialog box, leave the default selections and click Save. The file is added to your Libero IDE project; it appears in the Hierarchy tab.
- Create the Symbol. In the Hierarchy tab, right-click the core module and choose Create Symbol. The symbol is created; it appears in the Files tab, under Block Symbol files.
- To use the symbol, start ViewDraw.
- From the Add menu, choose Component.
- Select the new symbol, drag-and-drop to add it to your schematic.
