Initializing this project in Xilinx Vivado

You'll need to initialize this project in Xilinx Vivado if:

  1. You need to edit the file structure of the project to prepare it for pushing upstream
  2. You need to work directly on the project, proceeding through its RTL design flow

To initialize, open an instance of the Xilinx Vivado GUI, and use [Tools] > [Run Tcl Script...] to run the create_project.tcl script located in scripts

Note: The Vivado project directory created by create_project.tcl will bear the same name as the project.

Changes to the project's file structure

  1. need to be done in Xilinx Vivado, using the [Libraries] tab of [Windows] > [Sources], and
  2. need to be committed to the create_project.tcl using writeout_project.tcl.

Examples of file structure changes include:

  1. Creating new files/folders
  2. Renaming files/folders
  3. Moving files/folders
  4. Deleting files/folders

  1. *.xdc constraint files,
  2. *.tcl script files,
  3. *.v design and simulation sources,

  5. *.wcfg waveform configuration files.

Making commits, and pushing changes to remote

  1. Before making your commits, be sure to refer to the previous section, Making modifications, before committing any modifications to the project's file structure.

  2. Then, be sure to run create_project.tcl to rebuild your Vivado project with the changes from upstream.
