Hi list,

what is the best place in the Casper toolflow to add a couple of custom .ngc and .edn files to the synthesis step?

The problem is, I have some vhdl inserted via a Xilinx blackbox. This vhdl uses a few components generated with CoreGen. Meaning that I'd have to "include" a bunch of these .ngc+.edn pairs in the synthesis. Otherwise the error will be:

-----
ERROR:NgdBuild:604 - logical block 'adc2udpfiltering_xsg_core_config/...' with type 'fifo64b64' could not be resolved. A pin name misspelling can cause this, a missing edif or ngc file, or the misspelling of a type name. Symbol 'fifo64b64' is not supported in target 'virtex2p'.
-----

... because it doesn't find the fifo64b64.edn and fifo64b64_fifo_generator_v3_3_xst_1.ngc files.

For the synthesis I'd like these files to appear (and stay!) in the CORE_STATE_DEVELOPMENT_FILES list in the system_incl.make file, which would then appear to automagically take care of including these files in the synthesis step.

Any nice method to accomplish this with the toolflow?

(I'd rather _not_ create that Casper custom 'PCORE' directory, make the directory layout, copy the vhdl's and files, and edit the xps_library.mdl and create a new component block/"gui" there and add all the required matlab's for it, if this is at all possible to avoid!)

cheers,
 - Jan
