Summary

We’ve seen how to generate IPs from an existing SystemVerilog file and used this to recreate our temperature sensor project using the IP Integrator. We looked at how we can easily debug using the IP Integrator and how the ILA is AXI-aware. We’ve also looked at how we can package IPs by using the IP packager to generate a wrapper with AXI interfaces that we can use to create our core designs.

We’ve gone from flashing LEDs in Chapter 2, FPGA Programming Languages and Tools, to using a seven-segment display to display information in Chapter 4, Counting Button Presses. In Chapter 9, Lots of Data? MIG and DDR2, we are going to look at developing a display controller using the Video Graphics Array (VGA) interface, which will give us much more capability in displaying the outputs from our temperature sensor, microphone, and calculator.
