1.3.4.1. Plan the External Memory Interface

Follow these steps to plan the pinout of the EMIF interface by identifying legal and available placement locations.
  1. In the Interface Planner Plan tab, click the IP filter button. This filter automatically shows only the IP in the design example.
  2. In the Design Elements list, expand the EMIF_TOP_I0 block, and then select the emif_s10_0 design element.
  3. Click the >> button next to the emif_s10_0 design element name to display the Legal Locations for placement.
