Defining Environment variables inside EDK

Sep 05, 2005 2 Replies

Hi,



I need to define some environment variable to change the behavior of the synthesis tool in order for my design to compile (XIL_PLACE_ALLOW_LOCAL_BUFG_ROUTING).



I'd like to define that inside the EDK project, without having to modify my system or user wide environment. I've tried adding that to the system_incl.make but that file is overwritten at each build ...



What's the proper way to do that ? The search I've done so far didn't get many relevant results ...

Sylvain, Create a copy of system.make (call it mysystem.make) and in XPS Project Options dialog box, point XPS to this makefile. In this makefile, you can set the environment variable. Note that system_incl.make and system.make are always overwritten, but you can point XPS to use your own makefile (which is to replace system.make) and thus change environment.

Thanks, Amit

Yes great thanks !
