Customizing and Generating the Subsystem - 7.2 English

This section includes information about using AMD tools to customize and generate the subsystem in the Vivado Design Suite.

The AXI Ethernet Subsystem can be customized and generated in the Vivado IP integrator. For detailed information related to use of IP integrator, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Designing IP Subsystems using IP Integrator (UG994). You can customize the AXI Ethernet Subsystem for use in your design by specifying values for the various parameters associated with the subsystem following these steps:

1. Create a block design if not created already by selecting the option create block design in the IP Integrator tab.
2. Add AXI Ethernet Subsystem to the block design.
3. Double-click the AXI Ethernet Subsystem to open up a configuration dialog box in the Vivado IDE. The details of this configuration dialog box are provided in a later part of this section.
4. You cannot overwrite automatic parameters. In addition, you cannot edit sub-cores that are instantiated inside the AXI Ethernet Subsystem. If you want to edit advanced parameters of the sub-cores, you must build the system by directly instantiating that core. You cannot modify internal connections of the AXI Ethernet Subsystem. Configurations that are not allowed or not valid in a particular mode are grayed out.

Vivado IDE might auto-compute certain configuration values when validating or generating the design, as noted in this section. You can view the parameter value after successful completion of the validate_bd_design command.
