View source for How to build a WILDSTAR4 VHDL project

This guide explains how to build a WILDSTAR4 VHDL application.<br />
<br />
Pleasetake a look at the article on [[How to move a WILDSTAR4 project]] if your design does not reside in the annapolis/wildstar4/examples folder.<br />

1.) Download and install cygwin from [http://www.cygwin.com/ http://www.cygwin.com/]<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Be sure to include 'make' located under All->Devel.<br /><br />
2.) Check that the correct part type has been selected in synthesis/<pe>/xst/makefile<br /><br />
3.) Ensure that the correct part type is listed in synthesis/<pe>/xst/<project name>.scr.  Something like
 -p xc4vlx80ff1148-11
<br />
4.) If you have moved your project from the example folder, go follow the instructions in [[How to move a WILDSTAR4 project]]<br /><br />
5.) Open a cygwin bash shell and navigate to synthesis/<pe>/xst<br /><br />
6.) Run the following command to clean the xst folder (this must be done before each successive build)
 make new
<br />
7.) Run the following command to synthesize your design
 make xst
<br />
8.) Run the following command to run Place & Route, Map, Generate bit files, etc
 make
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTE: If you get an error about peutil.exe not being found and no .x86 file is generated you must follow the instructions in [[How to move a WILDSTAR4 project]].  Alternatively you may run peutil.exe directly from the annapolis/wildstar4/bin directory.<br />
<br />
9.) once this is done you will have generated a <project name>.x86 file.  This file must be manually moved from synthesis/<pe>/xst to host/source/<part type>
