Using the IP Manager

The Efinity® IP Manager is an interactive wizard that helps you customize and generate Efinix® IP cores. The IP Manager performs validation checks on the parameters you set to ensure that your selections are valid. When you generate the IP core, you can optionally generate an example design targeting an Efinix development board and/or a testbench. This wizard is helpful in situations in which you use several IP cores, multiple instances of an IP core with different parameters, or the same IP core for different projects.

Note: Not all Efinix IP cores include an example design or a testbench.

The IP Manager is included with the Efinity software v2020.2 and higher.

The IP Manager consists of:
  • IP Catalog—Provides a catalog of IP cores you can select. Open the IP Catalog using the toolbar button or using Tools > Open IP Catalog.
  • IP Configuration—Wizard to customize IP core parameters, select IP core deliverables, review the IP core settings, and generate the custom variation.
  • IP Editor—Helps you manage IP, add IP, and import IP into your project.
Tip: Refer to Resolving IP Manager Issues if you get an RPC server error when launching the IP Manager.
