Limitations

The Base System Builder was designed for users who want to create a basic functional

system quickly. As such, it does not allow users to create advanced systems or specify very

specific configurations.

The following are known limitations of the Base System Builder wizard:

x BSB does not support multi-processor systems

x BSB does not allow users to specify or modify the address map

x BSB does not check for specific hardware resources on the target FPGA device. The

user must consult the data sheet for the FPGA they are using to ensure that it contains

enough logic elements and other resources required by the system they are creating.

x Systems generated by BSB are not guaranteed to meet timing.

Any system that is created by the Base System Builder can be further enhanced either in the

XPS GUI or by manually modifying the design files generated by BSB. Therefore,

advanced users can also use the Base System Builder as a starting point for building a

complex design.
