Chapter 3: Using the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter
ChipScope Pro Core Inserter Features
Working with Projects
Projects saved in the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter hold all relevant information about
source files, destination files, core parameters, and core settings. This allows you to store
and retrieve information about core insertion between sessions. The project file (.cdc
extension) can also be used as an input to the Analyzer to import signal names.
When the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter is first opened, all the relevant fields are completely
blank. Using the command File > New also results in this condition.
Opening an Existing Project
To open an existing project, select it from the list of recently opened projects, or select File >
Open Project, and Browse to the project location. After you locate the project, you can
either double-click it or click Open.
Saving Projects
If a project has changed during the course of a session, you are prompted to save the
project upon exiting the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter. You can also save a project by
selecting File > Save. To rename the current project or save it to another filename, select
File > Save As, type in the new name, and click Save.
Refreshing the Netlist
The ChipScope Pro Core Inserter automatically reloads the design netlist if it detects that
the netlist has changed since the last time it was loaded. However, you can force the
ChipScope Pro Core Inserter to refresh the netlist by selecting File > Refresh Netlist.
