The output from design compilation process is written to the
netlist directory. This directory contains three subdirectories:
- sysgen
- This contains the RTL design description written in the industry standard VHDL format. This is provided for users experienced in hardware design who wish to view the detailed results.
- ip
- This directory contains the design IP, captured in Xilinx IP catalog format, which is used to transfer the design into the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite. Lab 5: Using AXI Interfaces and IP integrator, presented later in this document, explains in detail how to transfer your design IP into the Vivado Design Suite for implementation in an FPGA
- ip_catalog
- This directory contains an example Vivado project with the design IP already included. This project is provided only as a means of quick analysis.
The previous Resource Analyzer: Lab1_1 figure shows the summary of resources used after the design is synthesized. You can also review the results in hardware by using the example Vivado project in the ip_catalog directory.
Important: The Vivado project provided in the
ip_catalog directory does not contain top-level I/O
buffers. The results of synthesis provide a very good estimate of the final design
results; however, the results from this project cannot be used to create the final
FPGA.
When you have reviewed the results, exit the Lab1_1.slx
Simulink worksheet.
