I am reading the Spartan 6 DSP slice user guide, and I need to use the DSP slice in a project of mine.

I stumbled upon this question, which basically suggests 3 ways of using the DSP slices

1. Inferring the DSP slice
2. Using Core generator
3. Using the RAW DSP instantiating template

The second option is almost self explanatory, but I somehow don't feel like using it, since it feels somewhat superficial. I am interested in using the first and third options, since those options are the most customisable, but I am having a hard time understanding where to start.

These are the questions I have on my mind :

• What are the different ways in which you can infer a DSP slice in your design ?
• Where do I find the RAW DSP instantiating template? I have been googling for it, but I didn't find a definitive guide to it.
• Building up on my second question, there are a lot of xilinx documents one can read to get information on a lot of things. Since I am a noob, I always get confused about what to read, and I always like to have a mindmap of what all is out there, and so what options I have. Is there a place where all the xilinx documents with their description are listed, or what all documents I can refer for a particular application ?
