5.4.3 Importing Files

Anything that describes your design, or is needed to program the device, is a project source. These may include schematics, HDL files, simulation files, testbenches, etc. Import these source files directly into your design.

To import a file:

  1. From the File menu, choose Import Files.
  2. In Files of type, choose the file type.
  3. In Look in, navigate to the drive/folder where the file is located.
  4. Select the file to import and click Open.
Note:
  • You cannot import a Verilog File into a VHDL project and vice versa.
  • CoreConsole components include all the files needed by the Project Manager in your project folder. Libero IDE lists the CoreConsole component in the Project Manager along with its files (each core includes its own block symbol files, HDL source files, constraint files, implementation files, memory files, etc.).
  • When you import a CoreConsole component, the Project Manager creates a new directory in your project folder called coreconsole that includes all the required CoreConsole files. Project Manager preserves the structure of the original CoreConsole directory, except for the ViewDraw symbol - it gets copied into the viewdraw folder in your project.
