Vivado Environment Utilities

# Environment Setup

- Navigate to <repo>/fpga/usrp3/top/{project} where {project} is:
  - x300: For USRP X300/X310
  - e31x: For USRP E310
  - e320: For USRP E320
  - n3xx: For USRP N300/N310/N320
  - x400: For USRP X410
- To setup up the Ettus Research Xilinx build environment run
  - source setupenv.sh (If Vivado is installed in the default path /opt/Xilinx/Vivado) OR
  - source setupenv.sh --vivado-path=<VIVADO_PATH> (where VIVADO_PATH is a non-default installation path)
- This should not only enable building USRP FPGAs but also make available the utilities described in the following sections.

# ModelSim Specific

The setupenv.sh script will search the system for ModelSim installations and setup everything to run it natively and within Vivado. The currently supported versions of ModelSim are PE, DE, SE, DE-64, SE-64.

The following functions are also available in the environment:

    build_simlibs: Build ModelSim simulation libraries for Vivado

# IP Management

## Create Vivado IP

    viv_create_ip: Create a new Vivado IP instance and a Makefile for it

    Usage: viv_create_ip <IP Name> <IP Location> <IP VLNV> <Product>
    - <IP Name>: Name of the IP instance
    - <IP Location>: Base location for IP
    - <IP VLNV>: The vendor, library, name, and version (VLNV) string for the IP as defined by Xilinx
    - <Product>: Product to generate IP for

## Modify existing Vivado IP

    viv_modify_ip: Modify an existing Vivado IP instance

    Usage: viv_modify_ip <IP XCI Path>
    - <IP XCI Path>: Path to the IP XCI file

## Modify existing Vivado Block Design (BD)

    viv_modify_bd: Modify an existing Vivado BD instance

    Usage: viv_modify_bd <BD File Path> <Product>
    - <BD File Path>: Path to the BD file.
    - <Product>: Product to generate IP for

## Modify existing Vivado Tcl-based Block Design

    viv_modify_tcl_bd: Modify an existing Vivado BD instance

    Usage: viv_modify_tcl_bd <Tcl File Path> <Product>
    - <Tcl File Path>: Path to the Tcl file for the block design.
    - <Product>: Product to generate IP for

## List supported Vivado IP

    viv_ls_ip: List the items in the Vivado IP catalog

    Usage: viv_ls_ip <Product>
    - <Product>: Product to generate IP for.

## Upgrade IP to the environment version of Vivado

    viv_upgrade_ip: Upgrade one or more Xilinx IP targets
