Generating IP in Clarity Designer 

The Clarity Designer tool is used to customize modules and IPs and place them into the device’s architecture.  

The following describes the procedure for generating MIPI DSI to OpenLDI/FPD-Link/LVDS Interface Bridge IP in Clarity 
Designer.  

Clarity Designer can be started from the Diamond design environment. 

To start Clarity Designer: 

1.

 

Create a new empty Diamond project for CrossLink family devices. 

2.

 

From the Diamond main window, choose 

Tools

 > 

Clarity Designer

, or click 

 in Diamond toolbox. The Clarity 

Designer project dialog box is displayed. 

3.

 

Select and fill out the following items as shown in 

Figure 4.2

: 

 

Create new Clarity design

 – Choose to create a new Clarity Design project directory in which the MIPI DSI to 

OpenLDI/FPD-Link/LVDS Interface Bridge IP will be generated. 

 

Design Location

 – Clarity Design project directory path.  

 

Design Name

 – Clarity Design project name. 

 

HDL Output

 – Hardware Description Language Output Format (Verilog). 

The Clarity Designer project dialog box also allows you to open an existing Clarity Designer project by selecting the 
following: 

 

Open Clarity design

 – Open an existing Clarity Design project. 

 

Design File

 – Name of existing Clarity Design project file with .sbx extension. 

4.

 

Click the 

Create

 button. A new Clarity Designer project is created. 

 

Figure 4.2. Starting Clarity Designer from Diamond Design Environment 

To configure the MIPI DSI to OpenLDI/FPD-Link/LVDS Interface Bridge IP in Clarity Designer: 

1.

 

Double-click 

dsi_to_fpdlink

 in the IP list of the Catalog view. The 

dsi_to_fpdlink

 dialog box is displayed as shown in
