To convert a PlanAhead™ tool project to a Vivado IDE project, open the PlanAhead project file (PPR extension) in the Vivado IDE. When prompted, type in a new project name and location for the converted project.

The project conversion effects the following changes:

  • Targets the Vivado Design Suite default 7 series device on projects with pre-7 series devices.
  • Resets all runs. They are generated after implementing the design in the tool.
  • Replaces run strategies with Vivado Design Suite default strategies.
  • Moves UCF files to an Unsupported Constraints Folder because UCF constraints are not supported.
Note:
  • Conversion of designs with Partitions is not supported.
  • AMD Zynq™ 7000 SoC processor designs using XPS are not supported.
Important: The Vivado IP integrator is the replacement for Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS) for new embedded processor designs, including designs targeting Zynq devices and MicroBlaze™ processors. XPS is no longer integrated with the Vivado Design Suite. However, DCP and NGC files created without constraints in XPS are supported as source files in the Vivado Design Suite.
