 Implementation

Vivado Implementation/Timing/Viewers
error_handling/ common
  • delegated = Hide error message references inside encrypted areas.
  • delegated = Hide error message references inside encrypted areas.
  • Not Applicable (NA) 1
runtime_visibility/ common
  • delegated = Follow current Vivado simulator behavior- hiding visibility in hierarchy viewer, and so forth.
  • delegated =Follow current Vivado default behavior- hiding visibility.
  • delegated =All names/hierarchy visible
child_visibility/ common
  • delegated = No change to current Vivado simulator behavior (equivalent to Denied - hidden)
  • allowed = Show hierarchy, error messages for child levels.
  • delegated = No change to current behavior (equivalent to Denied - hidden)
  • allowed =Show names/message for child levels.
  • delegated = allowed = No change to current behavior of Vivado implementation.
decryption/ common
  • delegated/true = Read in decrypted file.
  • false = Do not read in decrypted file - issue message and stop processing.
  • delegated/true = Read in decrypted file.
  • false = Do not read in decrypted file - issue message and stop processing.
  • delegated/true = Read in decrypted file
  • false = Do not read in decrypted file - issue message and stop processing
xilinx_enable_netlist_export/ xilinx-specific NA
  • true = write_vhdl and write_verilog output netlists
  • false = write_vhdl and write_verilog do not run
  • true = write_vhdl and write_verilog output netlists
  • false = write_vhdl and write_verilog do not run
xilinx_configuration_visible/ xilinx-specific NA
  • true = LUT contents visible.
  • false = LUT contents NOT visible.
  • true = LUT contents visible.
  • false = LUT contents NOT visible.
xilinx_enable_modification/ xilinx-specific NA
  • true =Netlist modifications are allowed
  • false =Netlist modifications are not allowed
  • true =Netlist modifications are allowed
  • false =Netlist modifications are not allowed
xilinx_enable_probing/ xilinx-specific NA
  • true = Allow customer to insert Analyzer probes into encrypted module/entity.
  • false = Analyzer probes should not be inserted.
  • true = Analyzer probes might be inserted into encrypted module/entity.
  • false = Analyzer probes should not be inserted.
xilinx_enable_bitstream/ xilinx-specific NA NA
  • true = Grant right to generate bitstream.
  • false = Do not generate bitstream.
  1. NA = Has no affect on the Vivado tool.
