The Vivado ® Design Suite IP integrator lets you stitch together a design containing Xilinx ® IP or your custom IP in a relatively short time, working in a GUI environment.
Just as in Xilinx Platform Studio, you can quickly create an embedded processor design (using, for example, a Zynq ® -7000 device or a MicroBlaze ™ processor), along with peripherals, in IP integrator. You can migrate the following types design types to IP integrator:
• Zynq platform processor-based designs
• MicroBlaze processor-based designs
• Custom IP created in ISE ® or PlanAhead ™ software
IMPORTANT: The Vivado IP integrator is the replacement for Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS) for new embedded processor designs, including designs targeting Zynq devices and MicroBlaze™ processors. XPS is no longer integrated with the Vivado Design Suite. However, DCP and NGC files created without constraints in XPS are supported as source files in the Vivado Design Suite.
