- Open the Vivado® IDE. In the Tcl Console, navigate to the folder where the tutorial archive has been unzipped.
- Next, source the first Tcl script to create a flat version of the design
that will target the VCK190.
source create_top_bd.tcl
This script performs a few tasks:
- Creates a new project for a VCK190 target
- Adds and customizes a collection of IP
- Connects the IP within the block design
- Validates and saves the block design
The create_top_bd.tcl script was generated from an existing block design by calling write_bd_tcl -no_ip_version. The only modification made to this script was to customize the project name from the default.
