== Packaging the Processor as IP block for Xilinx Vivado Block Designer
.WORK IN PROGRESS
[WARNING]
This Section Is Under Construction! +

FIXME!
[start=1]
. Import all the core files from `rtl/core` and assign them to a _new_ design library `neorv32`.
. Instantiate the `rtl/wrappers/neorv32_top_axi4lite.vhd` module.
. Then either directly use that module in a new block-design ("Create Block Design", right-click -> "Add Module",
thats easier for a first try) or package it ("Tools", "Create and Package new IP") for the use in other projects.
. Connect your AXI-peripheral directly to the core's AXI4-Interface if you only have one, or to an AXI-Interconnect
(from the IP-catalog) if you have multiple peripherals.
. Connect ALL the `ACLK` and `ARESETN` pins of all peripherals and interconnects to the processor's clock and reset
signals to have a _unified_ clock and reset domain (easier for a first setup).
. Open the "Address Editor" tab and let Vivado assign the base-addresses for the AXI-peripherals (you can modify them
according to your needs).
. For all FPGA-external signals (like UART signals) make all the connections you need "external"
(right-click on the signal/pin -> "Make External").
. Save everything, let VIVADO create a HDL-Wrapper for the block-design and choose this as your _Top Level Design_.
. Define your constraints and generate your bitstream.
