- Open the example script,
<Extract_Dir>/Vivado_Tutorial/create_bft_kintex7_batch.tcl
in a text editor and review the different
steps.
STEP#0: Define output directory location. STEP#1: Setup design sources and constraints. STEP#2: Run synthesis, report utilization and timing estimates, write checkpoint design. STEP#3: Run placement and logic optimization, report utilization and timing estimates, write checkpoint design. STEP#4: Run router, report actual utilization and timing, write checkpoint design, run drc, write verilog and xdc out. STEP#5: Generate a bitstream.
Notice that many of the Tcl commands are commented out. You will run them manually, one at a time.
- Leave the example script open, as you will copy and paste commands from it later in this tutorial.
