Hi,
I have been trying to make an FPGA and add it to a PCB project for many hours without success. I am trying to follow
**broken link removed**
without any luck. I have tried automatic and manual methods
.
I make the simple counter FPGA project (picture attached). I then want to add this very simplistic FPGA to my earlier PCB creation tutorial-so I follow the add automatically instructions.
I select the same device that the tutorial has (except where there is a picture, symbol, and 3D on the tutorial I have "unavailable" on mine) and I select my tutorial PCB project, Tutorial 1. I keep the rest of the defaults.
So There are 2 sheets added to my Tutorial project. Why isn't my FPGA added to the schematic that is already there?
When I check the FPGA workspace diagram, I expect to see my FPGA linked to my PCB project-but it isn't. Do I have to place an FPGA symbol on my original schematic? Why does it create another schematic if this is the case?
I know I have unconnected I/O-but I dealt with those in the wizard. I get an unconnected I/O error and my FPGA only has 3 pins in the schematics that pop up-versus the tutorial where the entire thing is there. Why did I only get 3 pins?
I try to update my actual PCB, and I get a "multiple top-level documents" error? Where is that coming from? I also do not see the little FPGA symbol in my project like it has on the last page of the tutorial to verify everything has been linked properly. (picture of how project ends up looking attached)
I cannot figure this out. Some tips would be greatly appreciated to make my project look like the one on the last page of the tutorial. Thanks much.
