Chapter 1: Hardware Design Using System Generator
New Integration Flow between System Generator & Project Navigator
The illustration below shows the entire flow of how multiple System Generator designs
can be integrated into Project Navigator as lower-level designs. System Generator
generates a project file with an extension .sgp that you can add as a System Generator
source type in Project Navigator. This file contains all necessary information about the
System Generator design, including file locations and constraint files. Prior to the
integration with Project Navigator in Release 10.1, you had to manually consolidate and
associate UCF constraints into the top-level design. It is now done automatically during
the implementation in Project Navigator as shown in the following figure.
