Setting Up Software Environment PCIe IP Prototyping Kit Installation Guide
2.4 Creating a Workspace
A workspace is a local Unix directory structure containing your configured copy of dw_ipk_dwipk_pcie.
You can create several workspaces to experiment with different design alternatives.
To create a workspace, follow the next steps:
1. Navigate to the <installation_folder>/ipk/dw_ipk_dwipk_pcie/<version> folder, enter the
following command:
% cd <installation_folder>/ipk/dw_ipk_dwipk_pcie/<version>
2. Start the coreConsultant GUI:
% coreConsultant . &
3. Open a new workspace, press and hold the Ctrl+N keys.
4. On the “Create a coreConsultant Configuration” window, enter a name for the Workspace. Click OK
to create a workspace.
5. Complete the Specify Configuration activity using the default parameter values. Click Apply in the
Specify Configuration dialog.
This creates the RTL for the default configuration and populates the product documentation (in
<workspace>/doc).
After you set up the PCIe IP Prototyping Kit environment, you need to create a workspace and
configure the dw_ipk_dwipk_pcie using coreConsultant. The pre-generated FPGA images are
available in your workspace inside the syn folder.
For information on how to create a workspace, configure, synthesize, simulate, using
coreConsultant refer to the DesignWare PCIe IP Prototyping Kit User Guide.
Before continuing, make sure you have loaded the tools listed on Table 2-1 on page 34.
You can create several workspaces so that you can experiment with different design
alternatives.
