You can create a block design in the context of an open RTL project. To create a new block design source, and automatically add it to the current project, use the following steps:
- In the Flow Navigator, expand IP Integrator.
- Select Create Block Design.
This opens the Vivado IP integrator design canvas, letting you add and connect IP in the block design. Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Designing IP Subsystems Using IP Integrator (UG994) for details of creating a new block design.
- When you save the new block design, it is automatically added to the current
project.
You can also create the block design outside of the current project, to create a repository of block designs that can be reused and added to many different projects. For more information on creating a block design outside the current project, refer to Creating a Block Design in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Designing IP Subsystems Using IP Integrator (UG994).
