It shouldn't be any problem at all. Use ChipScope Inserter after=20 synthesis and before implementation of the system. In the inserter you=20 should be able to connect the ChipScope core to the signals of your core.=

After the insertion of the core in your system netlist you just continue =

the design flow with the ngdbuild, map, par, bitgen, bitinit and impact.

I did this over a year ago, and at that time I had to move some files=20 generated by the ngdbuild to the implementation directory manually.=20 Below is an example of the commandos I used at the command line.

ngdbuild -sd implementation/ -p xc2v1000fg456-6 -nt timestamp -bm=20 implementation/system.bmm -uc data/system.ucf system.ngo

mv ddr_v1_00_b_virtex2_async_fifo.ngo=20 implementation/ddr_v1_00_b_virtex2_async_fifo.ngo mv system_ngdbuild.nav implementation/system_ngdbuild.nav mv netlist.lst implementation/netlist.lst mv system.bld implementation/system.bld mv system.ngd implementation/system.ngd

map -o implementation/system_map.ncd implementation/system.ngd=20 implementation/system.pcf

par -w -ol 2 implementation/system_map.ncd implementation/system.ncd=20 implementation/system.pcf

bitgen -w -f etc/bitgen.ut implementation/system

bitinit system.mhs -pe microblaze_0 microblaze_0/code/xmdstub.elf -bt=20 implementation/system.bit -o implementation/download.bit

impact -batch etc/download.cmd

I don't know if this is of any help for you, but it might point you in=20 the right direction at least...
