This chapter covers the Tcl commands to use for common IP operations.

For more information about using Tcl and Tcl scripting, see the following:

  • Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using Tcl Scripting (UG894)
  • Vivado Design Suite Tcl Command Reference Guide (UG835)

For a step-by-step tutorial that shows how to use Tcl in the AMD Vivado™ tool, see the Vivado Design Suite Tutorial: Design Flows Overview (UG888).

Important: When associating a file using a Tcl command, ensure that the path to the file is an absolute path and not relative.
Important: When using HLS IP in non-project mode, be sure to run the compile_c command prior to running synthesis.
