Implementation

Introduction

Implementing the Xilinx
platform in the Vivado
includes modular scripts that are used with Vivado from the SDx™ Environments 2017.1
installation to construct the IP integrator block diagram, synthesize and implement the
design, and produce a DSA file for use with the SDAccel Environment.
The individual scripts provided with the reference design are, as follows:
• create_design.tcl: Creates a Vivado project, sets the necessary properties and
parameters, imports sources, and constructs the IP Integrator block diagram. The
outcome of this script is a new project with constructed and validated block diagram,
ready to synthesize.
• run_synth.tcl: Synthesizes the IP cores of the design, followed by the top level. This
script is to be run after create_design.tcl.
• run_impl.tcl: Implements the full design, including optimization, placement, and
routing. The script is to be run after run_synth.tcl.
• write_dsa.tcl: Creates the .dsa file for use in the SDAccel Environment from the
implemented design. This script is to be run after run_impl.tcl.
• run.tcl: Optionally runs all of the above scripts in sequence.
Use the version of Vivado included with your SDx Environments 2017.1 installation. The
IMPORTANT:
standard Vivado 2017.1 release is not supported when building the Xilinx Acceleration KCU1500 4DDR
Expanded Partial Reconfiguration platform.
There are two usage flow options for the scripts:
1. For an automated flow that involves no user interaction, from the Linux command line
invoke the following command:
vivado -source run.tcl
Vivado proceeds through all steps and produces a .dsa file after some time.
