You may need to purchase and install additional licenses to generate some protocol IP core from Xilinx or third-party IP vendors. Refer to UG 973: Vivado Design Suite: Release Notes, Installation, and Licensing at xilinx.com for information about managing licenses.

Complete the following steps to create a Xilinx Vivado project:

  1. Refer to the section of ChapterBefore You Begin, Before You Begin, for information about licensing before creating a Xilinx Vivado project.
  2. Launch the Xilinx Vivado IP catalog.
    1. Select Manage IP on the Vivado start screen.
    2. Locate the appropriate IP core to launch the configuration dialog. For example, the Aurora 64B66B IP core is located in Communication and Networking » Serial Interfaces » Aurora 64B66B.
  3. Select the IP core settings. NI recommends that you select AXI4-Stream for high-speed data streams when possible.
    Note NI does not recommend selecting AXI4-Lite for DRP accesses in the Xilinx IP cores because compatibility with LabVIEW FPGA AXI4-Lite adapters cannot be guaranteed. Refer to the Aurora sample projects for an example of how to use the LabVIEW FPGA AXI4-Lite adapters to connect to DRP within the CLIP.
