Design closure consists of meeting all system performance, timing, and power requirements, and successfully validating the functionality in hardware. All details on design closure can be found in the comprehensive UltraFast Design Methodology Guide for FPGAs and SoCs (UG949) for non-Versal devices and both the Versal Adaptive SoC Hardware, IP, and Platform Development Methodology Guide (UG1387) and Versal Adaptive SoC System Integration and Validation Methodology Guide (UG1388) for Versal devices.
This section focuses on the aspect of timing closure when migrating a design from Altera's Quartus to the AMD Vivado Design Suite. AMD recommends this timing baselining: the continuous evaluation of timing estimates through the Vivado tools flow evaluated against pristine timing constraints.
