Rate Table Creation and Association - 1.0 English

The multi-rate core created in the prior steps requires a rate table instance that provides DRP and port settings for up to 256 unique rates. The example design for the baseline mulit-rate core provides the block memory IP required and should be added to the baseline project. A COE file generated by the rate table generator must be associated with the rate table instance.

This section provides the steps for generating the COE file and associating it with the rate table instance.

1. Generate the rules.vh files for all supported rates, suggested flow follows:
   1. Create a managed IP project targeting the same device as the baseline project.
   2. Create and configure GTM Wizard IP cores for all supported rates.
   3. Copy the rules.vh files for all rates to a directory accessible by a Windows PC.
2. Generate the rate table COE file:
   1. Unzip the provided rate_table_gen_dist zip file to a Windows PC. Refer to AR 72071 for more details.
   2. Refer to the included README file for further instructions.
3. Associate the COE file with the rate table instance:
   1. Re-customize the rate table instance to associate the coe file.
