The Vivado® Design Suite has the following differences between the I/O assignment and implementation process for UltraScale architecture Memory IP:

  • Consolidated Memory IP I/O planning with the rest of the design in the main Vivado IDE I/O Planning view layout, which enables pin planning with the design RTL or after synthesizing the design.
  • PHY implementation of the IP now performed after synthesis as a part of the opt_design command, which enables netlist based I/O planning.
  • Physical block (Pblock) that contains the IP now automatically generated as a part of the opt_design command and is transient and invisible to users.
