Hand-drawn schematic symbols of ISE coregen cores revert to rectangles when underlying core parameters are changed!

Mar 28, 2006 2 Replies

Hi All,



My design flow includes a top-level schematic into which I place symbols which represent lower-level modules, including coregen cores (ISE7.1).



I have modified the schematic symbols for things like adders, multipliers etc, to look like symbols typically found in arithmetic texts.



Now, when one of the coregen core's' parameters are changed (say a bus width) and the core is re-generated, the symbol for that core in my schematic reverts to the nasty rectangle.



How can I avoid this, ie. how do I avoid having to re-draw my symbols every time I change core parameters or add a port (say a ACLR) ?



Hope someone can help - seems like this should be possible.



Cheers, PeterC.



Thanks Gabor.

The port sizes often do change so I think the best approach will be to simply generate a wide range of cores and schematics and simply replace the core as opposed to re-customizing it.

Cheers, Peter.
