The most common configuration settings fall into the device configuration bitstream settings category. These settings are properties on the device model that begin with "BITSTREAM." and are used during bitstream generation. Configuration settings include options for the configuration clock, encryption, compression, startup, and mode-specific options.

Both design properties for configuration and configuration bitstream settings can be defined by using the Edit Device Properties dialog for the selected synthesized or implemented design netlist. The following steps describe how to set various properties using this method:

  1. Open a synthesized or implemented design.
  2. Select Tools > Edit Device Properties.
  3. In the Edit Device Properties dialog, select one of the categories in the left-hand column.
  4. Set the properties to the desired values, and click OK.
  5. Select File > Save Constraints to save the updated properties to the target XDC file.

You can also set these properties using the set_property command in an XDC file or in the Tcl command window.
