6.5 Instantiating Blocks in the Top-Level Design

You can instantiate multiple instances of the same block or multiple blocks in the top-level design. Microchip recommends that you create a new project for your top-level design using the following steps:

  1. From the Project menu, choose New Project.
  2. Uncheck the Enable Designer Block Creation check box.
  3. Choose the Family/Die/Package for the new project for the top-level as follows:
    • If the block is a netlist only and was not published with place and route information, choose the same Family as the block for the new project. Choose any Die and Package.
    • If the block contains placement information, choose the same Family and Die as the block for the new project, and choose any Package.
    • If the netlist contains I/O and placement information, choose the same Family, Die, and Package as the block for the new project.
