Vivado Design Suite Updates
- Starting with the 2026.1 release, the AMD Vivado™ Design Suite uses a tier-based subscription licensing model. This new model introduces more flexible options, annual subscription-based options such as Basic, Core and Pro and perpetual options like Enterprise and Gold. Each tier provides a defined set of features, device support, and tool capabilities. Refer to the Vivado Overview Licensing Options page for detailed information.
- From 2024.2, Vivado supports Advanced Flow Place & Route for Versal devices. Upgrading a Versal project to Vivado 2024.2 makes it incompatible with any prior Vivado versions. More details can be found at Answer Record 000036830 - Migrating Versal Vivado projects to Vivado 2024.2.
- The format of the AMD IP configuration file has been changed from XML to JSON to improve revision control capabilities and loading times.
- For information on the IP change log see the All IP Change Log Information. This Answer Record contains a comprehensive list of IP change log information in a single location, which allows you to see all IP changes without having to install the Vivado Design Suite.
