If you are using the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter in stand-along mode, a dialog box
appears asking if you want to proceed with Core Insertion. If Yes, the cores are generated,
inserted into the netlist, and an NGO file is created with the EDIF2NGD tool. Details of this
process can be viewed in the Messages pane at the bottom of the window. A Core
Generation Complete message in the Messages pane indicates successful insertion of
ChipScope cores.
If you are using the ChipScope Pro Core Inserter as part of the Project Navigator mode, a
dialog box appears asking if you want to return to Project Navigator. If Yes, the ChipScope
Pro Core Inserter settings are saved and you are returned to the Project Navigator tool. The
actual core generation and insertion processes take place in the proper sequence as deemed
necessary by the Project Navigator tool.
