# IP Integrator Project with Example Design

Create project directory

start vivado

## Execute example
See what examples are possible, type into TCL console.

aws::make\_ipi -examples

Type into TCL console based upon example needed.

aws::make\_ipi -examples <example requested>

## Implementing the Design/Tar file

In the Design Runs tab, right click on impl\_1 and select Launch Runs… . Click OK in the Launch Runs Dialog Box.  Click OK in the Missing Synthesis Results Dialog Box.

This will run both synthesis and implementation.

The completed .tar file is located in <project>.runs/faas\_1/build/checkpoints/to\_aws/<timestamp>.Developer\_CL.tar.
