Description

Defines the current IP subsystem design for use with the IP integrator of the Vivado Design Suite, or returns the name of the current design in the active project.

The current IP subsystem design and current IP subsystem instance are the target of most of the IP integrator Tcl commands and design changes made in the tool. The current IP subsystem instance can be defined using the current_bd_instance command.

You can use the get_bd_designs command to get a list of open IP subsystem designs in the active project.

A complete list of IP integrator Tcl commands can be returned using the following command from the Vivado Design Suite Tcl shell:

load_features IPIntegrator  
help -category IPintegrator

Note: The load_features command is only needed if the IP integrator is not currently loaded in the Vivado Design Suite.

Arguments

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.

Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.

-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.

Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<design> - (Optional) The name of an IP subsystem design to set as the current design in the IP integrator. If a <design> is not specified, the command returns the current IP subsystem design of the active project.

Examples

The following example sets the IP subsystem design as the current design:
