IP Diagram View
The IP Diagram view is meant to provide a graphical visualization of the configuration of the IP currently
being edited. As different IP configurations are selected (by selecting their Editor), the IP Diagram view
contents will change to reflect the selected IPs configuration. Some IP (like the
DDR3 Configuration Editor )
supports multiple pages of diagrams - in these cases, there will be multiple labeled tabs at the bottom of the
IP Diagram view allowing the user to switch diagram pages.
Figure 3.86: Example IP Diagram for PLL
If the selected Editor is not an IP Configuration Editor , or if the selected IP does not support a diagrammatic
visualization, the IP Diagram view will display a notice that there is no diagram available for the selected
Editor.
Figure 3.87: Example IP Diagram when a non-IP Editor is active
When a supported IP Configuration Editor is selected, the IP Diagram view shows a dynamic block diagram
of the selected IP. Displayed labels will change, and logic blocks may appear and disappear depending upon
the configuration options currently selected in the IP Editor. Tool tips are available on all text displayed in
the IP Diagram. Text representing Configuration Options with Warnings or Errors will be displayed with
appropriate colors to indicate the condition. (By default, Warnings have a yellow background and Errors
have a red background, though these colors may be overridden from the
IP Diagram Preference Page .)
