4.4. Step 4: Create and Configure a Packaged Subsystem

After you instantiate and connect all components, you can save the current system as a packaged subsystem .qcp file that compresses, preserves, and allows you to share the packaged subsystem.

To save the current system as the dp_subsys packaged subsystem, follow these steps:

  1. In Platform Designer's IP Catalog, double-click the New Packaged Subsystem command. The New Packaged Subsystem dialog box appears for specification of the packaged subsystem properties.
    Figure 11. New Packaged Subsystem Command in IP Catalog


  2. In the Components tab, specify dp_subsys for the packaged subsystem Display Name. In this tab you specify the components that you want to include in the package by turning on or off the corresponding checkbox. For this example, leave all checkboxes turned on.
  3. In the File box, retain the <project_directory>/ip/packages/dp_rx_subsys.qcp default location for saving the file. This location ensures that the packaged subsystem is available in IP Catalog by default.
  4. To add a new file to the packaged subsystem, click the Add File tab and select any supporting files you want to add. There are no files to add for this example.
  5. View and modify the underlying script that specifies the package subsystem properties on the Packaged Subsystem Script tab, as Editing the Packaged Subsystem describes next.
