Description
Return the device used in the current project or design.
The board file, board.xml located in the data/boards folder of the AMD Vivado™ Design Suite installation area, stores information regarding board attributes. The board provides a representation of the overall system that the device is a part of, and can help define key aspects of the design, such as clock constraints, I/O port assignments, and supported interfaces. You can create custom boards by defining a custom Board Interface file, as described in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: System-Level Design Entry (UG895).
The board part provides a representation of the AMD device in the context of the board-level
system, and is represented by the part0 component in the Board
Interface file.
The board can be specified:
- When the project is created by selecting Boards from the Default Part dialog box.
- By setting the BOARD_PART property on the current project as shown in the example.
- By selecting the Project Device in the Settings dialog box in an open project in the Vivado IDE.
Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: System-Level Design Entry (UG895) for information on creating projects, and on configuring project settings.
set_property command, the target part is also changed to match the part required by the specified BOARD_PART property.The current_board_part command returns the NAME property of the current board part. The command returns a warning when the project targets an AMD FPGA instead of a board, or when the BOARD_PART property has not been defined. The command returns an error if it fails.
Arguments
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config command.Example
The following example sets the BOARD_PART property for the current project, then reports the board part in use by the project:
set_property BOARD_PART xilinx.com:kc705:part0:1.0 [current_project]
current_board_part
xilinx.com:kc705:part0:1.0This example shows the results of setting the BOARD_PART property, causing the target part to be changed as well. The target part is changed automatically, and a warning is returned:
set_property BOARD_PART xilinx.com:ac701:part0:1.0 [current_project]
WARNING: [Project 1-153] The current project part 'xc7k325tffg900-2'
does not match with the 'XILINX.COM:AC701:PART0:1.0' board part
settings. The project part will be reset to 'XILINX.COM:AC701:PART0:1.0'
board part.
INFO: [Project 1-152] Project part set to artix7 (xc7a200tfbg676-2)report_property command to check the BOARD_PART and PART property on the current_project to see the changes.The following example shows how to get DEVICE, PACKAGE, SPEED and FAMILY properties for the part defined by the PART_NAME property of the current board part:
get_property DEVICE [get_parts [get_property PART_NAME \
[current_board_part]]]
get_property PACKAGE [get_parts [get_property PART_NAME \
[current_board_part]]]
get_property SPEED [get_parts [get_property PART_NAME \
[current_board_part]]]
get_property FAMILY [get_parts [get_property PART_NAME \
[current_board_part]]]
