Recommended Steps After Implementation - 2022.1 English

1. Review the implementation messages.
2. Review the implementation reports to validate key aspects of the design:
   • Timing constraints are met (report_timing_summary).
   • Utilization is as expected (report_utilization).
   • Power is as expected (report_power).
3. Write the bitstream file.

   Writing the bitstream file includes a final DRC to ensure that the design does not violate any hardware rules.

4. If any design requirements have not been met:
   • In Project Mode, open the implemented design for further analysis.
   • In Non-Project Mode, open a post-implementation design checkpoint.

For more information on analysis of the implemented design, see section Interactive Design Analysis in the IDE in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Design Analysis and Closure Techniques (UG906).
