Home > Creating and configuring a system > Changing a full-width connection to a bit-slice connection |
By default, the port signals are full bit-width connections, that is, no bit-slices have been specified. To make a bit-slice connection from a signal port to other component or external ports:
In the main menu, select Tools → IP-XACT Connections....
The IP-XACT Connections dialog box appears and lists all the IP-XACT connections for the system.
To create a bit-slice, edit the L and R values in the port listing to define the bit range required for each bit-slice.
The following ad-hoc connections are not supported:
signals from external bus interfaces
non-contiguous bit-slicing of two ad-hoc signals connected together.
Figure 15 shows the edited IP-XACT connections for the system.
Click OK to save the new L and R signal port values and close the IP-XACT Connections dialog box. Figure 16 shows the sliced connection.
