  1. Select Tools > Create and Package New IP to open the Create and Package New IP wizard.
  2. Click Next at the Welcome screen for the Create and Package New IP dialog box.
  3. In the Create Peripheral, Package IP or Package Block Design page, select Package a specified directory, as shown in the following figure.

  4. Click Next.
  5. In the Package a Specified Directory page, shown in the following figure, set the options as follows:
    • Directory: <Extract_Dir>/lab_4/trunk/common_v1_0
    • Check the Package as a library core option.

      The Package as a library core option is used when the source is not intended to be used as a standalone IP. The option is intended to mark IP in the IP catalog that can only be used as a child of another IP.

      However, any custom IP can be a child to another IP. If your custom IP is not a library core, the process for referencing a child IP is the same. This option is used to mitigate confusion of which IP should be used and hidden in the Vivado IP catalog.

  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Edit in IP Packager Project Name page, leave the default locations, and click Next.
  8. Click Finish.

    An edit IP project opens in a new Vivado window with the Package IP window opened. The Package IP window displays the basic IP package information determined through the wizard. The project opens in the staging area for editing and repackaging.
