Processing a System Generator Design with FPGA Physical Design Tools
my_project_cw - structural. The Processes window shows the processes that can
be run on the top-level HDL module.
In the Processes window, if you right-click on Generate Programming File and select Run,
you are instructing Project Navigator to run through whatever processes are necessary to
produce a programming file (FPGA bitstream) from the selected HDL source. In the
messages console window, you see that Project Navigator is synthesizing, translating,
mapping, routing, and generating a bitstream for your design.
Now that you have generated a bitstream for your design, you have access to all the files
that were produced on the way to bitstream creation.
