In this lab, you will learn how to use the Vivado® Engineering Change Order (ECO) flow to modify your design post implementation, implement the changes, run reports on the changed netlist, and generate programming files.

For this lab, you will use the design file that is included with this guide and is targeted at the Kintex® UltraScale™ KCU105 Evaluation Platform. For instructions on locating the design files, see Locating Design Files for Lab 4.

A block diagram of the design is shown in the following figure.

Figure 1. Block Diagram of the Design

In this design, a mixed-mode clock manager (MMCM) is used to synthesize a 100 MHz clock from the 300 MHz clock provided by the board.

A 29-bit counter is used to divide the clock down further. The four most significant bits of the counter form the count<3:0> signal that is 0-extended to 8 bits and drives the 8 on-board LEDs through an 8-bit 2-1 mux.

The count<3:0> signal is also squared using a multiplier, and the product drives the other eight inputs of the mux. A Toggle signal controls the mux select and either drives the LEDs (shown in the following figure) with the counter value or the multiplier output.

A Pause signal allows you to stop the counter, and a Reset signal allows you to reset the design. The Toggle, Pause, and Reset signals can either be controlled from on-board buttons shown in the following figure or a VIO in the Hardware Manager as shown in the subsequent figure. The VIO also allows you to observe the status of the LEDs. The following figures show the location of the push-buttons and the LEDs on the KCU105 board and a Hardware Manager dashboard. These allow you to control the push button and observe the LEDs through the VIO.
