Compilation with a Non-Project Flow - 2021.2 English

Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using Tcl Scripting (UG894)

Document ID

Release Date

Version
2021.2 English

The following is an example Tcl script that defines a Non-Project design flow.

The example script uses a custom command reportCriticalPaths. This is an illustration on how the Vivado Design Suite can be augmented with custom commands and procedures. The content of reportCriticalPaths is provided and explained in the section Defining Tcl Procedures.

# STEP#1: define the output directory area.
#
set outputDir ./Tutorial_Created_Data/cpu_output 
file mkdir $outputDir
#
# STEP#2: setup design sources and constraints
#
read_vhdl -library bftLib [ glob ./Sources/hdl/bftLib/*.vhdl ]
read_vhdl ./Sources/hdl/bft.vhdl
read_verilog [ glob ./Sources/hdl/*.v ]
read_verilog [ glob ./Sources/hdl/mgt/*.v ]
read_verilog [ glob ./Sources/hdl/or1200/*.v ]
read_verilog [ glob ./Sources/hdl/usbf/*.v ]
read_verilog [ glob ./Sources/hdl/wb_conmax/*.v ]
read_xdc ./Sources/top_full.xdc
#
# STEP#3: run synthesis, write design checkpoint, report timing, 
# and utilization estimates
#
synth_design -top top -part xc7k70tfbg676-2
write_checkpoint -force $outputDir/post_synth.dcp
report_timing_summary -file $outputDir/post_synth_timing_summary.rpt
report_utilization -file $outputDir/post_synth_util.rpt
#
# Run custom script to report critical timing paths
reportCriticalPaths $outputDir/post_synth_critpath_report.csv
#
# STEP#4: run logic optimization, placement and physical logic optimization, 
# write design checkpoint, report utilization and timing estimates
#
opt_design
reportCriticalPaths $outputDir/post_opt_critpath_report.csv
place_design
report_clock_utilization -file $outputDir/clock_util.rpt
#
# Optionally run optimization if there are timing violations after placement
if {[get_property SLACK [get_timing_paths -max_paths 1 -nworst 1 -setup]] < 0} {
    puts "Found setup timing violations => running physical optimization"
    phys_opt_design
}
write_checkpoint -force $outputDir/post_place.dcp
report_utilization -file $outputDir/post_place_util.rpt
report_timing_summary -file $outputDir/post_place_timing_summary.rpt
#
# STEP#5: run the router, write the post-route design checkpoint, report the routing
# status, report timing, power, and DRC, and finally save the Verilog netlist.
#
route_design
write_checkpoint -force $outputDir/post_route.dcp
report_route_status -file $outputDir/post_route_status.rpt
report_timing_summary -file $outputDir/post_route_timing_summary.rpt
report_power -file $outputDir/post_route_power.rpt
report_drc -file $outputDir/post_imp_drc.rpt
write_verilog -force $outputDir/cpu_impl_netlist.v -mode timesim -sdf_anno true
#
# STEP#6: generate a bitstream
# 
write_bitstream -force $outputDir/cpu.bit
