Customizing and Generating the Core - Customizing and Generating the Core - 11.1 English - PG046

This section includes information about using AMD tools to customize and generate the Aurora 8B/10B core in the AMD Vivado™ Design Suite.

When customizing and generating the core in the AMD Vivado™ IP integrator, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Designing IP Subsystems using IP Integrator (UG994) AMD Vivado™ Design Suite for detailed information. IP integrator might auto-compute certain configuration values when validating or generating the design. To check whether the values change, see the description of the parameter in this chapter. To view the parameter value, run the validate_bd_design command in the Tcl Console.

IP can be customized for use in a design by specifying values for the various parameters associated with the IP core using these steps:

1. Select the IP from the AMD Vivado™ IP catalog.
2. Double-click the selected IP or select the Customize IP command from the toolbar or right-click menu.

For details, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Designing with IP (UG896) and the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Getting Started (UG910).

The Aurora 8B/10B core can be customized to suit a wide variety of requirements using the Vivado IP catalog. This chapter details the available customization parameters and how these parameters are specified within the Customize IP interface.
