In the Vivado IP catalog, you can browse available IP for the target device in the current project. The catalog displays version and licensing information and provides a link to the applicable data sheet.

The License column shows either Included or Purchase for AMD IP:

Included
AMD LogiCOREā„¢ IP cores licenses under the AMD End User License Agreement and available at no additional cost.
Purchase
Fee-based LogiCORE IP licensed under the Core Evaluation License Agreement. Use the Core Evaluation License Agreement to evaluate fee-based AMD IP.
Figure 1. Vivado IP Catalog

To check IP license status for IP cores used in a project, select Reports > Report IP Status. For details on obtaining IP licenses, refer to https://www.xilinx.com/products/intellectual-property/license.html.

AMD and its partners provide additional IP cores not included in the default Vivado IP catalog. For information on available IP, refer to the Intellectual Property page on the AMD website.

Double-click any IP in the catalog to launch the Configuration wizard and instantiate it into your design. After configuration, Vivado creates a Xilinx core instance (.xci) file containing all customization options for the IP. From the .xci file, Vivado generates all output products for the IP. These can include HDL for synthesis and simulation, constraints, test benches, C modules, and example designs. The exact outputs depend on the customization options you choose.
