Choose non-project mode:

  • When you have advanced knowledge of the Vivado Tcl commands and prefer scripting over using the IDE.
  • To automate complex design flows or integrate Vivado into larger automated systems.
  • When efficient use of disk space and resources is required and non-project mode avoids the overhead associated with project mode.
  • To create highly customizable and reproducible design workflows.
  • When working with version control systems, non-project mode is recommended.
