Problem Title:
Coregen 2.1: How do I obtain a description for each Coregen core created?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: Where can configuration information about a
core be obtained?


Solution 1:

For each core generated, Coregen generates an XCO file describing
the configuration of the core. The XCO file can be found in the
directory where the core was generated.

Here is an example of a Dual Port Fifo core:

# Xilinx CORE Generator 2.1i
# Username = John
# COREGenPath = e:\fndtn\coregen
# FoundationPath = e:\fndtn
# ProjectPath = E:\fndtn\Active\projects\MYCOREG
# ExpandedProjectPath = E:\fndtn\Active\projects\MYCOREG
SET BusFormat = BusFormatAngleBracket
SET SimulationOutputProducts = VHDL   Verilog
SET ViewlogicLibraryAlias = ""
SET XilinxFamily = SPARTAN
SET DesignFlow = Schematic
SET FlowVendor = Foundation
SELECT Synchronous_FIFO  SPARTAN Xilinx 1.0
CSET component_name = dualfifo
CSET data_width = 16
CSET dual_port = TRUE
CSET fifo_depth = 32
GENERATE

The CSET lines describe the component name, data width, fifo depth
and the type, single or dual port.
