Using the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter with Command Line Implementation
Edit CDC Project Step
The Edit CDC Project step of the command line ChipScope Pro Core Inserter flow is used
to bring up the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter GUI to edit an existing CDC project (see
Figure 3-3). The ngcbuild tool is called during this step with the specified arguments
following the -ngcbuild argument. The ngcbuild tool combines all netlists associated with
the design into a single complete NGC netlist file. This allows the ChipScope Pro Core
Inserter tool to provide full debug access to all levels and nodes in the design.
The command line signature for this step is:
inserter -edit <project.cdc> -ngcbuild [-p <partname>] [{-sd
<source_dir>}] [-dd <output_dir>] [-i] <inputdesign.{edn|ngc}>
<outputdesign.ngc>
Insert Cores Step
The Insert Cores step of the command line ChipScope Pro Core Inserter flow is used to
insert cores into a design based on an existing CDC project (see
Figure 3-4). The ngcbuild
tool is called during this step with the specified arguments following the -ngcbuild
argument. The ngcbuild tool combines all netlists associated with the design into a single
complete NGC netlist file. The cores are inserted into this single complete netlist.
The command line signature for this step is:
inserter -insert <project.cdc> -ngcbuild [-p <partname>] [{-sd
<source_dir>}] [-dd <output_dir>] [-i] <inputdesign.{edn|ngc}>
<outputdesign.ngc>
