5. Next, create Source or header files. Double click on the Sources branch of a project tree
to cause a File Open Dialog to pop-up. The dialog is rooted at the base location of your
EDK project. It is good to create a directory named after your project and keep your
source and header files there; in this case, MyProject. Create the directory in the same
directory as your EDK.xmp file
Adding a pcore to an EDK Project
1. Pcores in an EDK project must be in the user repository, or in a directory named pcores,
at the same directory level as the EDK project file
2. To ensure that the pcore has been loaded, from XPS, select Project > Rescan User
Repositories
3. Pcores in System Generator are currently FSL-based, so you may use the Configure
Co-processor tool. The tool can be launched from XPS by selecting Hardware >
Configure Coprocessor...
Available FSL-based pcores are listed on the right hand window. Select the relevant pcore,
then click on the Add button. The Configure Coprocessor tool takes care of connecting the
clock and reset signals for the FSL bus, however, any user signals must be wired up by you.
