This user guide provides an overview of the AMD Vivado™ Design Suite with an emphasis on the different project types, using the tool through the GUI and Tcl, with and without a project. The Vivado Design Suite enables you to take your design from full register-transfer level (RTL) creation to bitstream generation. System-level design entry consists of setting up your design, including creating a project (if applicable), creating and adding source files, adding block design and IP cores, elaborating the RTL design, and inserting and configuring debug information. You can enter your design using the graphical user interface (GUI), known as the Vivado Integrated Design Environment (IDE), or using Tcl commands and scripts.
