How to combine ISE and XPS ?

hi ppl!

anyone noe how to combine ISE ans XPS?im doing a project on microblaze to display character on a VGA monitor whenever ive typed a character in a hyperterminal. coz ive code for the vga timing (VHDL) and c code tt display the the output of the character in the hyperterminal.

thz!=)

xps ise

What is XPS?

import xps project in ise

XPS - Xilinx Platform Studio
ISE - Xilinx Integrated Software Environment (ISE) Project Navigator

xps into ise

hi... i'm A newcomer. can anybody give me a tutorial for ISE 4? one more thing, whenever i want to create new project, the design flow for either schematic or vhdl wasn't exist in my design flow. can somebody help me?

xps vhdl

1. generate project in xps.
2. export project to ise.
3. in ise add ucf, run p@r.
4. import the bit file back to xps.
5. do update bitstream in xps.
6. configure the device.

xilinx xps nothing to be done

Do you have a simple guide with some examples for a beginner in XPS!

ise xps

Recomended way to integrate ise and XPS is
add .XPS file in ise
Then double click on .xps file to open XPS tool

xps microblaze to ise

thz thz!

after i've generated and exported the proj, the ouput from the XPS hve shown the following below:

You have chosen XPS for implementation tool flow.
Please select ProjNav as your implementation flow in Project Options.

In batch mode, use command 'xset pnproj <nplfile>'.

Done!

wat does it mean by "In batch mode, use command 'xset pnproj <nplfile>'."?
btw..im using ISE 9.1i and XPS 9.1i..

add ise to xps

it seems your project options are set for implementation in XPS.
you can change the prefferencess,to implement in ise.
to do this
go to project tab in toolbar
look for project options/preferencess(dont remember exactly)
change the settings as required.

how to import xps to ise with 10.1

ok thz..i will try it..=)

if its possible, i wish my project can implement in XPS only.my objective is to display the character in a VGA monitor.
More Details: the character will be typed into the hyperterminal and display it n a VGA monitor using spartan 3 microblaze.

ive try to add peripheral for the vga port..its touching the .mhs, .mss and .mpd files..am i right to add this peripheral to operate the vga timing?

add xps to ise with 10.1 example

Try the example called "**broken link removed**" on the FPGA Developer website. Its an online tutorial website.

On this particular tutorial, they take a VHDL design (developed in ISE) and put it into a peripheral in XPS. The result is, you can then use the PowerPC to control the peripheral and VHDL design.

There are tutorials for beginners also on that website.

I am using EDK9.2i and ISE9.2i. I made a project in EDK and then export it to ISE. When i opened this projet in ISE and compiled it i got the following error.

/************************************************************/

Actually i have developed a simple code(VHDL) for LED on off controlled by switch using ISE and have configured the hardware using XPS . So now i want to add both of them . How can i do this.
And what is the problem for this error. Please tell me.
Thankyou.

xps import bit file

If you use EDK 10.1, try this version of the tutorial:

Integrating a VHDL Design into a Peripheral

It might also help users of EDK 9.2.
