Chapter 3: Base System Builder

If you are unsure about what IP core to use, you may click the Data Sheet button on the

right to view the data sheet of the currently selected core.

Adding Internal Peripherals

Internal peripherals are IP cores which do not communicate directly with any devices

outside of the FPGA. Examples of such peripherals are on-chip memory (BRAM)

controllers and timers. The user may add internal peripherals by clicking the

Add

Peripheral

button at the top of this page and selecting from a list of internal peripherals.

Any selections added by default or by the user can be removed by clicking the

Remove

button next to that device.

Depending on the number of internal peripheral devices added by the user, additional

wizard pages may be created to display the current list. The

Back button may be used to

remove or edit previous selections.

The Base System Builder will instantiate all internal peripherals which are added to the

system and connect them to the appropriate bus. It will NOT generate any top-level

system ports for internal peripherals.
