This chapter explains how to set up the C/C++ development environment to implement your IP. Follow this procedure to set up source code, build files, schema, and the OpenAccess SDK Service for your IP.
To implement a new IP, you must set up the required source files and the makefiles (or project files) for your IP to allow you to compile and link edit to create a DLL on Windows or a shared library on Linux/UNIX. The IP module is loaded by the OpenAccess SDK Server (client/server version) or by the OpenAccess SDK Local Server (local version). The OpenAccess SDK IP Software Development Kit includes libraries, header files, templates, and the makefiles necessary to build your IP.
Setting up to develop a new IP is a three-step process:
1. Set up the source, schema, and build files for your IP to allow the IP module to be built. See Setting Up the IP Source for more information.
