17.1.2.1 Component Configuration Using Libero

After selecting the components that must be used from the preceding list, perform the following steps:
  1. Create a new Libero project (Core Configuration and Generation): Select the Device and Family that you target your final design to.
  2. Use one or more of the cores mentioned in Custom Flow.
    1. Create a SmartDesign and configure the desired core and instantiate it in the SmartDesign component.
    2. Promote all the pins to top level.
    3. Generate the SmartDesign.
    4. Double click the Simulate tool (any of Pre-Synthesis or Post-Synthesis or Post-Layout options) to invoke the simulator. You can exit the simulator after it is invoked. This step generates the simulation files necessary for your project.
      Tip: You must perform this step if you want to simulate your design outside Libero.

      For more information, see Simulating Your Design.

    5. Save your project—this is your reference project.
