Hi Folks,
I am using a MicroZed board and I have generated a fully functional block design / vhdl app / software app. It is all working together and I can send 32 bit data both directions between my VHDL code and my software application. In that design, I generated a wrapper file and modified it. That's great. It works but is it possible to avoid using a wrapper file?
The reason for wanting to avoid a wrapper file is because a wrapper is machine generated. When you are iterating a lot (as I am), hand modifications are a likely source of errors. That source of errors can be eliminated if the machine generated files are separate from the hand generated files.
When I attempt to avoid generating a wrapper file, the compiler tries to connect the PS-PL signals to chip pins. There are not enough chip pins and so the effort fails. So, something in the use of a wrapper file tells the compiler to map the PS-PL signals as PS-PL connections (as opposed to chip IO lines). The question is then, how can I insure that PS-PL signals are kept as PS-PL signals without using a wrapper file?
Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this!
