Layout Selector - 2024.1 English

The Vivado IDE provides predefined window layouts to facilitate various tasks in the design process. The layout selector (shown in the following figure) enables you to easily change window layouts. Alternatively, you can change layouts using the Layout menu in the menu bar.

Figure 1. Layout Selector

Use the predefined layouts as follows:

Default Layout

Analyze your design with a minimum set of windows.

I/O Planning

Define I/O placement constraints and place ports.

Note: When working with I/O planning projects, the I/O Planning view layout is called the Default Layout.

Floorplanning

Define Pblocks, manage partitions, and perform hierarchical floorplanning.

Debug

Define debug nets and configure debug cores.

Timing Analysis

Run timing reports and analyze timing.

ECO

Open the ECO Navigator to make engineering change orders (ECOs) to the post-synthesis netlist.

Note: The ECO layout is only available when you open a design checkpoint (DCP). For more information on the ECO flow, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Implementation (UG904) and the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Programming and Debugging (UG908).
