13.22.6 Generating a SmartDesign Component
Before your SmartDesign component can be used by downstream processes, such as synthesis and simulation, you must generate it.
To generate a SmartDesign component, from the SmartDesign menu, choose Generate or
click 
. This will generate a HDL file
in the directory
<libero_project>/components/<library>/<yourdesign>.
Note: The generated HDL file will be deleted when your SmartDesign design is modified and
saved to ensure synchronization between your SmartDesign component and its generated HDL
file.
Generating a SmartDesign component may fail if there are any DRC errors. DRC errors must be corrected before you generate your SmartDesign design.
