Running Reports: DRC, Power, Utilization Analysis - Running Reports: DRC, Power, Utilization Analysis - 2026.1 English - UG892

The Vivado IDE provides graphical tools to configure and view power, utilization, and DRC analysis results.

• Use report_power to experiment with power parameters and estimate power at any design stage.
• Use report_utilization to analyze the utilization statistics of various types of device resources.
• Use report_design_analysis to review critical path characteristics, identify complexity, and locate areas prone to routing congestion or timing closure issues.
• Use report_drc to run comprehensive DRCs and identify issues to resolve before generating the bitstream.

Vivado reports include links to select problem areas or offending objects directly. Many reports can save results as an RPX file for interactive reloading. Reloading the report reconnects object links, enabling cross-selection between the report and the design.

Report strategies let you define groups of reports and tie them to a specific run. You can create strategies when you select Tools > Settings > Strategies > Report Strategies. Specify individual reports for each run step. Report strategy is a run property, and Vivado generates all listed reports when the run launches.
