Suggestion objects are stored in binary: as a consequence, the only way to read
the suggestion is to load the design, read the suggestions, and run report_qor_suggestions
. Support for viewing and executing
suggestions in Tcl is available for users who do not wish to use the object flow.
To write out suggestions in Tcl, use the following command:
write_qor_suggestions -tcl_output_dir <outputDir>
Running this command outputs one or more Tcl files to the stated directory. This option is not available in the Vivado IDE.
For the Tcl scripts generated for the implementation commands, it is
preferred to manage the integration of them into the design constraints manually. For the
synthesis Tcl scripts, they can be added to the constraints set in project mode (update the
file filter to Tcl to see them), or in non project mode accessed using read_xdc -unmanaged <Tcl file>
.
When the objects are in Tcl, it is the user's responsibility to maintain the Tcl to remove objects that are no longer required and apply only the suggestions that they want to apply. Any newly generated Tcl scripts has to be appended to the existing Tcl scripts.
Suggestions that are entered using Tcl are no longer reported by report_qor_suggestions
.
