Locking the core

Now we will lock the core to prevent values from overwriting, it also allows us to make some manual changes not available in the Vivado GUI

• At the bottom of the screen, click Tcl Console
  
  (If you can't see it, click the search box at the top Quick Access and search for Tcl Console)

• Paste set_property is_managed false [get_files pcie_7x_0.xci] into the Tcl Console and press enter

• This message will be displayed in the Tcl Console window:
