Use the Vivado IDE to analyze designs saved as design checkpoints. Run a design in Non-Project Mode using these Tcl commands:

  • synth_design
  • opt_design
  • power_opt_design
  • place_design
  • phys_opt_design
  • route_design

Store the design at any stage and read it into a Vivado IDE session. Start from a routed design, analyze timing, adjust placement to address timing problems, and save your work for later. The Vivado IDE banner displays the open design checkpoint name.
