Syntax
synth_ip [‑force] [‑quiet] [‑verbose] <objects>
Usage
Name | Description |
---|---|
[-force]
|
Force regeneration of the netlist. |
[-quiet]
|
Ignore command errors |
[-verbose]
|
Suspend message limits during command execution |
<objects>
|
All the objects for which a netlist needs to be generated for. |
Description
This command is used in the non-project flow to create a synthesized design checkpoint file (DCP) to support the out-of-context (OOC) IP flow, or to synthesize and implement an IP module in the OOC hierarchical design flow. IP objects are specified by the get_ips
command, or for the specified IP core file (XCI) as specified by the get_files
command.
set_property
command on the XCI file.For project-based designs you would use the create_ip_run
and launch_runs
commands. Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Design Flows Overview (UG892) for more information on Project and Non-Project Modes in Vivado.
The synth_ip
command will automatically generate any required target files prior to synthesizing the IP core. The source files required to synthesize the IP are copied into the IP run directory. Upon completion, any newly generated OOC target files (dcp, stub files, funcsim netlists...) are registered with the associated IP core.
Arguments
-force
- (Optional) Force re-synthesis of the specified IP objects, even if the generated output products for the specified IP are all current.
-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.
-verbose
- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config
command.
<objects>
- (Required) One or more IP objects to synthesize. The objects can be specified as IP cores by the get_ips
command, or as XCI files using the get_files
command.
Examples
The following example synthesizes the specified IP object, regenerating the netlist if the synthesized core is up-to-date:
synth_ip [get_ips char_fifo] -force
