Chapter 2: Hardware/Software Co-Design
Import the XPS Project
In this step, you import an XPS project that contains a MicroBlaze processor into the DSP48
Co-Processor model. Double click on the subsystem called Processor Subsystem and look
into it. In that subsystem, you will find a System Generator token and a blue text box as the
place holder for an EDK Processor block. Open the System Generator block set and drag an
EDK Processor block from the Index library into the Processor Subsystem. Your
augmented subsystem should look like the one shown below:
You will now configure the EDK Processor block to import the XPS project. The import
process will make changes to the XPS project. Thus, ensure that the XPS project is not
currently opened by Xilinx Platform Studio before importing.
Double click on the processor block to bring up the block dialog box. In the Configure
processor for drop-down menu, select HDL netlisting. The Import… button is enabled as
a result of the selection.
Note that the Import… button is disabled when the processor is configured for EDK pcore
generation. In EDK pcore generation mode, it is expected that you will create a pcore in
System Generator and export it to be used in another XPS project. In this case, the
processor is not instanced inside the EDK Processor block. In HDL netlisting mode, it is
expected that you import an XPS project into the System Generator model and netlist it
with other System Generator blocks.
If no XPS project is ever imported, configuring the processor for HDL netlisting will
automatically trigger the launching of the XPS Import Wizard. The XPS Import Wizard can
be launched manually by pressing the Import… button.
In the pop-up file selection dialog, browse to the XPS project created in earlier steps. The
import process starts once a XPS project file (xmp file) is selected. The import process
copies necessary files into the XPS project and changes the project accordingly to allow the
MicroBlaze processor to communicate with the System Generator model.
Note that if there is any software applications contained by the imported XPS project, they
are not compiled during import.
