Overview

The Vivado® Design Suite allows you to create projects based on specific boards. Trenz Electronic provides Vivado Board Part files in the download area. Please choose the BSP folder under the proper module.

There are two options for installing the Board Part files

  • Option1: Install into a User Repository
  • Option2: Install into the Vivado installation

Option1: Install into a User Repository

This Option allows you to install the Vivado Board Part files to any location of your choosing. The disadvantage is that it required an additional command to point the tools to your repository.

Note
Please make sure you use plain ASCII text editor when creating the init.tcl file, any non ASCII character in the file will make Vivado to freeze on startup.

A working init.tcl file is provided in the archive with this tutorial.

UG835 describes where to put the init.tcl file.
