chipscope nuance question?

May 05, 2004 2 Replies

So i have been using chipscope for 4 months now and lately its been much easier to use because when I want to select nets I get a full hiearchy to look through. but somethign changed in my design(i do not know wut) and now I no longer get the nice hiearchy. just a giant list of alphabetized nets.



How do i get the hiearchy back?



Thanks



Matt


Matthew, Sounds like you've flattened the hierarchy somehow. Check the options for the processes in Navigator. Or maybe your synthesis tool. Chipscope is a wonderful thing. I haven't used a logic analyser for years. And as the parts get faster, so does Chipscope. I use it to debug my home brew soft processor. You can export the analysis results and I run a Perl script to view the disassembly. Xilinx should do an integrated version for MicroBlaze and PowerPC. Cheers, Syms.

Syms, Thanks for your help. Looks like I checked a flag to flatten the hiearchy in order to try to make the design run faster.

thanks

Matt
