Exported IP
Description
Exporting IP writes the EDIFs and UCF s for specified netlist modules for use when
creating reusable IP blocks.
When you run the Export IP command on a selected module instance in the design it
exports the Pblock logical hierarchy and placement constraints. The exported files
include the EDIF netlist and UCF physical constraints in the original logical netlist
format. This allows for easier implementation in the next design by keeping the
interface identical.
You can use the exported UCF to re-create the Pblock placement constraints. You can
duplicate identical placement for multiple modules by moving the modules after they
are imported.
Figure 10-20, page 329 is an example of how Export Pblock and Export IP can be used
to export different parts of the design, based on either logical (Export IP) or physical
(Export Pblock) hierarchy.
ISE Launch Scripts
(jobx.bat/sh &
runme.bat/sh &
.ISE_command.rst)
When you launch a run, the PlanAhead tool creates ISE launch scripts automatically.
These scripts contain commands and command-line options specified in the
PlanAhead Strategy.
The jobx.bat/sh scripts are located under the project run directory in a /jobs
subdirectory. These scripts sequentially launch each selected run. The script calls each
run-specific runme.bat|sh script. You can launch these scripts independently also.
