Step 4: Compiling the Reference Design - 2022.1 English

1. From the Flow Navigator, select Run Implementation.
2. In the Missing Synthesis Results dialog box that appears, click OK to launch synthesis first.

   Synthesis runs, and implementation starts automatically when synthesis completes.

   Note: The dialog box appears because you are running implementation without first running synthesis.
   
   
3. After implementation finishes, the Implementation Complete dialog box opens. Click Cancel to dismiss the dialog box.
   
   

In a project-based design, the Vivado Design Suite saves intermediate implementation results as design checkpoints in the implementation runs directory. You will use the final checkpoint as the reference to the incremental compile flow.
