Description

Imports port definition and package pin placement information from a comma separated value (CSV) file.

The port definitions in a CSV file can be imported into an I/O Pin Planning project. In a Pin Planning project, importing a CSV file replaces the current port definitions. Any ports in the design that are not found in the imported CSV file will be removed.

In all other projects the port definitions are defined in the source design data, however package pin assignments and port attributes can be read from the specified CSV file.

The ports read from the CSV file can not have spaces in the name, or the tool will return an error. The specific format and requirements of the CSV file are described in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: I/O and Clock Planning (UG899).

Arguments

-quiet_diff_pairs - (Optional) The tool transcripts messages related to pins that may be inferred as differential pairs when importing the CSV file. This option suppresses messages related to inferring differential pairs.

-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.
<file> - (Required) The file name of the CSV file to be imported.
Note: If the path is not specified as part of the file name, the tool will search for the specified file in the current working directory and then in the directory from which the tool was launched.

Examples

The following example imports a CSV file into an open project: 
read_csv C/Data/pinList.csv
The following example sets up a new IO Pin Planning project, and then imports the specified CSV file into it, and infers any differential pairs in the CSV file: 
create_project myPinPlan C:/Data/myPinPlan -part xc7v285tffg1157-1  
set_property design_mode PinPlanning [current_fileset]  
open_io_design -name io_1  
read_csv C:/Data/import.csv  
infer_diff_pairs -filetype csv C:/Data/import.csv
Note: The design_mode property on the source fileset is what determines the nature of the project.
