Manual Development Flow for RTL Kernels

Using the RTL Kernel Wizard to create RTL kernels is highly recommended, however RTL Kernels may be created without using the wizard. This section provides details on each step of the manual development flow. The three steps to package an RTL design as an RTL kernel for SDAccel™ applications are:

1. Package the RTL block as Vivado® IP.
2. Create a kernel description XML file.
3. Package the RTL kernel into a Xilinx Object (XO) file.
