The open_run command opens a previously completed synthesis or implementation run, then loads the in-memory design of the Vivado tools.
Important: The
open_run command works in Project Mode only. Non-Project
Mode does not support design runs.Use open_run before implementation on
an RTL design to open a previously completed Vivado synthesis run then load the synthesized netlist into memory.
Tip: Because the
in-memory design is updated automatically, you do not need to use
open_run after synth_design. You need to use open_run only to open a previously completed synthesis run from an
earlier design session.open_run Syntax
open_run [-name <arg>] [-quiet] [-verbose] <run>
open_run Example Script
# Open the design run synth_1 from completed synthesis run
open_run -name synth_1 synth_1
The open_run example script opens a design
run (synth_1) into the Vivado tools memory from the completed synthesis run (also named
synth_1).
If you use open_run while a design is already in memory, the
Vivado tools prompt you to save any changes to the current
design before opening the new design.
