Chapter 4: Create/Import Peripheral Wizard

Limitations

This tool has a number of limitations

Create Peripheral Mode

x Verilog peripherals are not supported.

x Only slave peripherals supported in this release.

Import Peripheral Mode

x Master-only bus interfaces are not supported. Such peripherals are rare.

x References to fixed netlists cannot be parameterized. This implies that you cannot

create a peripheral that is just a set of fixed netlists and no associated HDL. Typically,

such peripherals are supported by BBD files only with no associated PAO file.

x XPS repository or projects with spaces in the pathname are not supported.

<synthesis-dir>/<peripheral-

name>_xst.prj

XST project file. In case you add more files HDL to your

peripheral, you need to add them to this file.

<synthesis-dir>/<peripheral-

name>_xst.scr

A simple XST script file that uses the XST project file and

can be passed to XST to generate the netlist representing

the peripheral.

<peripheral-

directory>/data

Directory containing EDK interface files (MPD & PAO) file

for the core.

<peripheral-

directory>/hdl/vhdl

Directory containing generated (or imported) VHDL files

representing the core. In case you need more VHDL files

to represent your peripheral, you can add them here.

<peripheral-

directory>/hdl/verilog

Directory containing generated (or imported) Verilog files

representing the core. In case you need more VHDL files

to represent your peripheral, you can add them here.
