DRCs are just like other objects in Tcl and their properties can be changed. Use the following command to list the properties of a DRC Object.
Vivado% report_property [get_drc_checks RAMW-1]
Property Type Read-only Visible Value
ARCHITECTURES string* true true
CLASS string true true drc_check
DESCRIPTION string true true Block RAM Data Width Check
GROUP string true true RAMW
HIERNAME string true true RAMB Checks
IS_ENABLED bool false true 1
IS_USER_DEFINED bool true true 1
MESSAGE string true true
MSG_ID int true true 1
NAME string true true RAMW-1
SEVERITY enum false true Advisory
Note: There are two properties of the RAMW-1 DRC check that you can modify. Those are the IS_ENABLED property and the SEVERITY property. Change the values of these properties on the DRC Check object by using the
set_property
command, just like any other object.To disable the RAMW-1 DRC check, issue the Tcl command:
Vivado% set_property IS_ENABLED false [get_drc_checks RAMW-1]
To increase the severity of the RAMW-1 DRC Check, issue the Tcl command:
Vivado% set_property SEVERITY {Critical Warning} [get_drc_checks RAMW-1]
These properties can also be changed on built-in DRC rules. In order to reset the built-in DRC rules to factor defaults, use the following Tcl command:
Vivado% reset_drc_check [get_drc_checks]
CAUTION:
Although Vivado allows you to disable and downgrade the severity of the built-in
DRC Objects, this practice is highly discouraged as it can cause unpredictable results
and could potentially cause permanent damage to the device.
