User Guide
Specifying Clocks and Interrupts
Complete the following steps to connect the clocks and specify interrupts:
1. To connect DUT
coreclkout
to the onchip_memory and dma_0 clock inputs, click
in the Clock column next to the DUT
coreclkout
clock input. Click
onchip_memory.clk1 and dma_0.clk.
2. To connect alt_xcvr_reconfig_0
mgmt_clk_clk
to clk_0
clk
, click in the Clock
column next to the alt_xcvr_reconfig_0
mgmt_clk_clk
clock input. Click clk_0.clk.
3. To specify the interrupt number for DMA interrupt sender,
control_port_slave
,
type
0
in the IRQ column next to the
irq
port.
4. On the File menu, click Save.
Specifying Exported Interfaces
Many interface signals in this Qsys system connect to modules outside the design.
Follow these steps to export an interface:
1. Click in the Export column.
2. First, accept the default name that appears in the Export column. Then, right-click
on the name, select Rename and type the name shown in Table 3–12.
