Question for XST expert - Laurent Gauch - 2004-10-20 07:12:00

Hi all,

I am finishing my PCI core.

I want to do from XST an .ngc file of my PCI core.
The goal is to map IO buffers for all the PCI signal and to let other 
signals without IO buffer mapping.

If I use the XST command line -iobuf , I can only enable or disable the 
use of IO Buffer on all the port of the entity.

Any advice ?

Thanks
Laurent

The only way to do this I can think of is to disable automatic IOBUF 
insertion in XST and manually instantiate IO buffers for those signals 
you need them for in your VHDL-code. With a few 
for...generate-statements it shouldn't even be a whole lot of code.

Sean

You could also allow XST to read in the
"module" NGC with
-read_cores option. Xst will read in your NGC to recognize
the logic and infer IO appropriately to the ports that need
IO buffers.
