The Messages window (shown in the following figure) displays design and report messages, which are grouped to enable you to locate messages from different tools or processes. Messages display with a link to the relevant object or source file. To open the Messages window, select . You can use the check boxes in the banner of the Messages window to hide or display the errors, critical warnings, warnings, info, and status messages.
Note: If the location of a source file
changes, the Vivado IDE removes the link from related messages to
prevent confusion.
Tip: To see only one message type,
double-click the message type in the banner of the Messages window. For example, double-click errors to display only error messages. Using the
-count option displays the number of messages matching either
-id or -severity that have been displayed. It
resets when certain commands are executed. For example, to get the message count for
critical warnings, use the get_msg_config -count -severity
{CRITICAL WARNING} Tcl command.Video: For an overview of the
Messages window, including
information on reviewing critical messages, cross probing design objects, adjusting
message severity, and suppressing messages, see the Vivado Design Suite QuickTake Video: Understanding
Messaging.
