Vivado Template

简体中文

Introduction

This is a template for automatically generating Vivado project scripts, which also includes simulation scripts for iverilog and vcs. It enables simulation, synthesis, and implementation without the need to open the GUI.

Project Structure

The project structure is as follows:

.
├── example_project         # Example project
│   ├── rtl                 # Project's RTL files
│   ├── tb                  # Testbenches
│   ├── xdc                 # Constraint files
│   └── config.sh           # Project configuration
└── scripts
    ├── template            # Script templates
    ├── gen_project.sh      # Script generation script
    └── template_config.sh  # Template configuration

The example_project folder can be replaced with your own project by simply copying the config.sh over.

The scripts folder contains project generation scripts and some templates. The gen_project.sh is the entry file.

Usage

Configuring the Project

Modify config.sh according to your project, referring to the internal guides. All paths are relative to the config.sh path.

Generating Scripts

Generate the scripts using the following command, of course, remember to replace config.sh with your own.

cd scripts
./gen_project.sh ../example_project/config.sh

After generation, a folder named by your project (set inside config.sh) will be created under the scripts directory.

scripts
├── Your-Project-Name   # Generated scripts folder
│   ├── iverilog
│   ├── vcs
│   └── vivado
├── template            # Script templates
├── gen_project.sh      # Script generation script
└── template_config.sh  # Template configuration

Here, vivado contains the synthesis and implementation scripts for Vivado, vcs contains the simulation scripts for vcs, and iverilog contains the simulation scripts for iverilog.

Vivado Synthesis and Implementation

Use the following commands for synthesis and implementation:

cd Your-Project-Name/vivado

# Synthesis project
source run_synth

# Implementation project
source run_impl 

The results are located in Your-Project-Name/vivado/SynOutputDir and Your-Project-Name/vivado/ImplOutputDir respectively.

Vcs Simulation

If you are performing post-synthesis simulation or your project contains IP cores, be sure to perform Vivado synthesis first.

Use the following commands for simulation:

cd Your-Project-Name/vcs

./compile.sh
./elaborate.sh
./simulate.sh

Use the following command to open verdi to view the waveforms:

./verdi.sh

Iverilog Simulation

If you are performing post-synthesis simulation or your project contains IP cores, be sure to perform Vivado synthesis first.

Use the following commands for simulation:

cd Your-Project-Name/iverilog

./compile.sh
./simulate.sh

Use the following command to open gtkwave to view the waveforms:

./gtkwave.sh
