Xilinx Spartan3 DCM Procedure

Aug 18, 2004 1 Replies

Not sure what to do here. I ran the wizard for a Single DCM which generated a XAW file. Although this is a "New Source" it doesn't act like one. One can generate VHDL code from this XAW file which I did. I then tried to add the VHDL code as a source and got an error message. Something about a conflict between the two files. So I deleted the XAW file and now the VHDL file, by itself, seems to work, that is, it will synthesize and download. I haven't been able to verify the clock outputs yet. Is the XAW file suppose to be part of the project source?


Hi,

The vhdl file is just a wrapper file, so your DCM hasn't been implemented. You have to attach the XAW file to your project. Coregen or the architecture wizard give you a netlist and not an open VHDL source code most of the time.
