Interlaken Configuration Editor
The Interlaken interface configuration editor provides a simple graphical editor used to configure the SerDes
interface for Interlaken, and saves the user configuration in an Interlaken IP configuration file (.acxip). See
Creating an IP Configuration .
Once the user has configured the IP to meet their requirements, and the Configuration Editor has
determined that there are no errors in the configuration, the user may choose to generate their IP design
files (see
Generating the IP Design Files ).
By default, the Interlaken Configuration Editor is included in the IP Configuration perspective
(Window→Open Perspective→IP Configuration) (
).
