    This document provides instructions for using the ISE WebPack tool to create digital circuit designs and save them as macros for reuse. It describes how to open WebPack, create a new project, add schematic files, implement simple logic gates to build a circuit, name the input/output ports, save the design, and create a macro symbol to use the circuit in larger designs. The overall purpose is to illustrate how to design, save, and reuse digital circuits using the ISE WebPack schematic editor.

    Open the ISE webpack tool
    Open the ISE webpack tool by double
    clicking on the webpack project
    navigator icon on your computer screen
    desktop
    Or from windows start menu,
    • Programs
    • Xilinx webpak4.2
    • WebPack Project Navigator
    Source Panel: it shows all
    source files associated
    with the current design
    HDL editor
    window, when
    Process Panel: All entering a
    processes that are circuit using
    available to run on a VHDL the
    selected source file source code
    will appear in
    this window

    Creating New Project
    • First we create a folder for our
    labs, let’s call it mylabs
    • We go to hard drive C then
    double click on the folder named
    xilinx_webpak inside this folder
    we create our folder mylabs
    Creating a Schematic for a
    Given Design
    • In this lab we illustrate different
    examples about how to create and save
    many schematic designs using ISE
    webpack.
    • We also will see how can we create
    macros, which means, build our circuit
    (or circuits) and use it later in a bigger
    designs.
    Open Webpack Project Navigator “double click on its icon
    on your desktop”
    Click on File menu then New Project a dialog box like this will appear
    • Project name: ITBP205
    • Project location: C:\xilinx_webpack\mylabs
    • Device family: we choose from the drop down
    menu Spartan2 “ depends on the device we
    are targeting”
    • Device: from the drop down menu we choose
    xc2s50-5tq144 for our particular device
    • Design Flow: XST VHDL which is the Xilinx
    synthesizer
    • Click ok
    Right click on the device name then choose New Source
    We highlight Schematic
    File name : example1
    Location: C:\xilinx_webpack\mylabs
    Click Next , your screen should look like this
    In the next screen click Finish
    Finally, once you click finish, the schematic editor will
    open automatically
    Let’s implement the following circuit given by the Boolean expression

    Y= (A+B) (B+C)

    (A+B) (B+C)
    A+B
    A
    B
    B+C

    C
    Locating and choosing our gates
    For our design here we need 2 OR2 gates, 1 AND2
    gate, 1 inverter and 4 input/output ports.
    On the right hand side from the ECS editor we see
    two navigation panes, the upper one is called
    Categories and the lower one is called Symbols.
    In the categories pane we highlight the category
    Logic, in turn in the lower pane, which is called
    Symbols we see all logic elements available in
    our tools, we locate our wanted element/gate
    and drag it to our work space in the middle
    screen.
    Locating and choosing our gates
    We have 2 ways to get the gate/element

    •scrolling down the symbols window till


    we see our wanted gate.

    •Type the gate name in the lower field


    named Symbol Name Filter.
    Logic

    Symbols

    You can type


    the name
    here
    Now we choose our gates then drag them one by one to the work
    space as it is shown in the following screen
    Connecting the gates is done by clicking on the add wire
    icon from the editor tool bar
    Once we finish adding the wires to connect the
    gates our design will look like this
    Then we add Input/Output marker by clicking on
    Input/Output marker in the editor’s tools bar
    Directing and Naming the
    Input/Output ports
    • After adding the Input/Output ports, we have
    to define the polarity of each port either as an
    Input ,Output or bidirectional, we also have to
    give names to these ports, this can be done
    in two ways, which are exactly the same
    • Double click on each port to open Object
    Properties dialog box
    • Or right click on each port then choose
    Object Properties from the drop down menu
    Let’s name the first port, and call it A and set it to be as an
    input port
    Once we are done our design will look like this
    Saving the Design and Creating Macros

    • Now we are done from this design we will


    save it and we may need to use it in the
    future when building bigger circuits.
    • From the editor’s tool bar we click on
    Tools menu then we click on Create
    Symbol, so a dialog box will open and it
    already has our design name and the
    ports names with their polarity , so we
    click OK
    Once you click OK you get the following screen
    • At this point we close the editor and if you
    are prompted to save changes click Yes
    and let’s go back to Project Navigator
    • From the Project Navigator window then
    we right click on the device to add new
    source , we will call it example2 then we
    click Finish and this in turn will open a new
    editor window as it is shown in the screen
    below
    • In this new editor session we have new
    symbol which is our own design that we
    called example1, so we can open this
    design either by scrolling down the
    Symbols menu or simply by choosing
    our own directory from the categories
    window, so we see our design appears
    in the Symbols menu and of course it is
    called exmaple1
    Here is our
    work
    directory

    Our design that


    we created
    before,
    example1
    • By applying the same way that we did
    before, we can drag our design from the
    symbols screen and drop it any where on
    the work space as many times as we
    need, we can always verify that we have
    chosen the correct design by right click
    on the design then from the drop down
    menu we click on Push Into Symbol and
    this will open another ECS editor with the
    schematic view of our chosen design, as
    it is shown in the following slide.
