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:
  1. Choose a core from the Catalog. Double-click to open the configuration options.
  2. Select a core type (if necessary).
  3. Configure the core.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. To use the symbol, start ViewDraw.
  7. From the Add menu, choose Component.
  8. Select the new symbol, drag-and-drop to add it to your schematic.
