- | If your design is an AXI design, Open the Project in Xilinx Platform Studio. Allow the tools to upgrade any IP that it says is safe to upgrade. If the project is too old, it is possible that the version of an IP core you have used is no longer present in 14.7. If this is the case, you may have to upgrade the project to an earlier version that still contains the core before upgrading to 14.7. For example, if your project was created in 13.3, you may need to open it up and upgrade it in 14.2, and then open it again in 14.7.

- | That project has the DDR2, ethernet, and nearly all of the other peripherals properly connected to the AXI versions of the cores. Its original purpose was for our Manufacturing test, so the net names may be confusing. If you choose to follow this method, you can skip to step 3. Note you will only need to modify the constraints of any cores you manually add: the constraints that are currently in the project are all correct for the Nexys4-DDR | ||

- | Any instantiated FPGA primitives (DSP slices, PLLs, DDR registers, etc.) will need to be updated to the 7-series equivalent. Note that the usage of these primitives may have changed in order to reflect changes to the 7-series fabric in the Artix part. You will need to consult the Xilinx documentation for the particular feature of the FPGA you are using to see if this is the case. The new primitive declarations are all found in the [[http:// | + | Any instantiated FPGA primitives (DSP slices, PLLs, DDR registers, etc.) will need to be updated to the 7-series equivalent.
