Create New Board Dialog Box (IP Catalog) (Platform Designer)
The Create New Board dialog
box allows you to specify the details about your target development board in Platform Designer. Platform Designer
saves the board data in a board file (_board.xml).
You define the details of the board and then reuse that board file for other projects that
target the same board.
| Setting Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Board Generation | Turn on this option to generate a new board file (_board.xml) when you click the Save button. Leave this option off to generate only an IP presets file (.qprs) based on the current system and target board. This option is on by default. |
| Name | Specifies the name for the board file that appears in the Platform Designer Board Catalog. |
| Device family | Select the target design family for the Platform Designer system. This setting reflects the current project settings by default. |
| Device part | Select the target FPGA device part for the Platform Designer system. This setting reflects the current project settings by default. |
| Vendor | Specifies the vendor of the target board, such as Intel. This setting is optional. |
| Version | Specifies the version number of the board file, such as 2.0. This setting is optional. |
| Board file | Specifies the name of the new board file that you are creating. |
| Enable System Preset Generation | Turn on this option to enable generation of a system preset file. The system preset file contains multiple IP presets that are appropriate for the current target board file. This option is off by default. |
| Preset file | Specifies the file name and path of the new preset file (.qprs) that generates when you click the Save button. If you instead select an existing preset file for this setting, that file is overwritten with the new preset parameter values. |
| Save | Creates (or overwrites) the board and preset files, according to your specifications in this dialog box. |
