Description
Generate a Boundary Scan Description Language (BSDL) file (.bsd) for the current design that reflects the post-configuration boundary scan architecture of the target device.
The boundary scan architecture for the device is changed when the device is configured because certain connections between the boundary scan registers and pad may change. These changes must be communicated to the boundary scan tester through a post-configuration BSDL file. Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Programming and Debugging (UG908) for more information on the available configuration modes.
The write_bsdl
command reads a pre-configuration BSDL file for the target part from the Vivado® Design Suite installation area, and combines that with post-configuration data from the current design.
This command returns the name of the output BSDL file, or returns an error if it fails.
Arguments
-force
- (Optional) Overwrite an existing BSDL file of the same name.
-bsd <arg>
- (Optional) Specify an existing BSDL file to update. Use this to update a generic BSDL file from the Vivado Design Suite installation with post-configuration data from the current design.
-quiet
- (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose
- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config
command.
<file>
- (Required) Specify the output file name. The .bsd extension is optional.
Example
The following example writes a BSDL file at the specified location:
write_bsdl -force C:/Data/project/design1.bsd
