The Methodology Summary section of the Timing Summary report shows a table of methodology violations. The total number of violations appears on the right hand side of the table.

An icon next to each category helps you quickly identify the severity:

  • A red icon indicates that the highest severity is an Error
  • An orange icon indicates a Critical Warning
  • No icon appears for Warnings or Advisories
Note: Report Timing Summary does not run report_methodology. It only displays a summary of violations from the most recent report_methodology run, either from the current in-memory design or a loaded checkpoint.

Use the following instructions to generate a full list of methodology violations:

  • Select Reports > Report Methodology from the menu.
  • Or run the report_methodology Tcl command.

If you have not run report_methodology before generating the Timing Summary Report, Vivado displays a message stating that no methodology report is available, as shown in the following figure.
