Importing an XST Project File - 2024.1 English

If you do not have an existing or up-to-date ISE Project Navigator (.xise) project file or PlanAhead tool (.ppr) project file, you can use the Xilinx Synthesis Technology (XST) project file to import initial settings for a Vivado Design Suite project. To import an XST project file:

1. Select File > Project > New.
2. Select Project name and location.
3. In the New Project Wizard, select Imported Project.
4. Select XST, and select the appropriate project file with a .xst extension.

After you have imported the project file:

• Review the Import XST Summary Report for important information about the imported project.
• Ensure the selected device meets your requirements, and if it does not, select a new device. If the XST project does not have an equivalent supported device in the Vivado Design Suite, a default device is selected.
• Review the files in the Sources view to ensure all design files were imported properly.
