Create a new core in SmartGen

You can create a new core in SmartGen only after you have created a workspace.

To create a new core in SmartGen:

1. Select a core type in the Categories tab (Arithmetic, Comparator, Converters, etc.). The Variety View window displays the list of configurable cores.  

2. Double-click the core variety you wish to generate, or right-click and choose Create Core. The core configuration dialog box appears.  
   The configuration dialog box varies depending on which core you select.

3. Set the parameters for your core and click Generate. The Save As dialog box appears.  

4. Specify the name of your new core and click Save to continue. SmartGen saves your core to the specified directory and adds your core to your workspace (in the Configured Core View Window). If you deliberately save the core in a different directory than the workspace, the core will be saved, but will not be added to the workspace.  
   Your core remains in the workspace until you choose to Remove it.
    

Note: You cannot create two cores with the same name.  SmartGen is case-insensitive; "core_A" is equivalent to "core_a".
