The Vivado Design Suite provides an IP-centric design flow that helps us quickly turn designs and algorithms into reusable IPs. The Vivado IP catalog is a unified IP repository that provides the framework for the IP-centric design flow. This catalog consolidates IP from all sources including AMD IP, third-party IP, and end-user designs targeted for reuse as IP into a single environment.
In this blog post, I will create a custom AXI IP block in Vivado and modify its functionality by integrating custom Verilog code. I will be using the Zynq SoC and the MiniZed as a hardware platform. As this is my first IP I will try to keep it very simple. Here I will control some LEDs using switches which will be accessed through register reads and writes over an AXI bus.
I started to define a new custom IP from an existing AMD Vivado project, using the Create and Package New IP wizard.
You need to give a name for the IP:
I choose "Create a new AXI4 peripheral". I let all as default from Add Interface window for the AXI interface.
I choose the Edit IP option before clicking on finish button.
After clicking on the finish button Vivado open a new project like below.
I made some modifications on both the Verilog files:

The customized IP block GUI will look as follows:
As we have modified the Verilog code we need to Re-Package the IP.
Before Applying the changes I unchecked the following check box marked as red.
After finishing our customized IP is ready and we may close the project.
Now we are in our original project environment and I am going to add the customized IP block I just created in my project with the ZYNQ processing block.
Using the Create Block Design option in the Flow Navigator window, I added a new block design to the project.
Add the Zynq processing system IP block to the design and run the Block Automation that appears to apply the board presets and other basic/bare bones settings to it.
To add the customized IP block that we created in the previous step, right-click anywhere in the blank space of the Diagram window and select the Add IP... option. Search for the GPIO_Switch and add the IP to the block design.
Then I added the AXI Interconnect IP to the design and run the automation again.
I made the LEDs and switches terminal of the custom IP block external.
After connecting all the terminals the block looks like as below:
After getting it all connected, the design successfully passed validation with one minor warning about ensuring the clock property was synced with the custom module, but this warning can be safely ignored.
With the block design complete, a HDL wrapper can be generated for the design and left to Vivado to auto-manage:
Finally, I run the Synthesis, and the synthesis was successfully completed as there is no error in the block design.
