Description
Read the specified list of IP files (XCI) and add them to the design and the current fileset. Files are added by reference into the current project, just as in the add_files
command.
You can use this command to read the contents of source files into the in-memory design, when running the Vivado® tool in Non Project mode, in which there is no project file to maintain and manage the various project source files. Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Design Flows Overview (UG892) for more information on Non Project mode.
When using the read_ip
command all output products associated with the IP core, including the design checkpoint file (DCP) will be read into the in-memory design.
synth_ip
or generate_target
commands. For more information on working with IP refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Designing with IP (UG896).Use the import_ip
command to add the IP cores and import the files into the local project directory.
This command returns the list of files read.

<files>
- (Required) The list of IP files to read into the current project. Both XCI and XCO file formats are supported.
