Building project from TCL script

martingaraj

Hi, I have following files:

ug480.vhdl
ug480.xdc
ug480_setup.tcl

representing the whole project (XADC reference design by the way).

When the Vivado 2014.4 starts, I change the directory to the project current directory (where I have copied the files above) using

"cd [get_property directory [current_project]]"

and then source the tcl setup file (Tools -> Run TCL script) or simply "source ug480_setup.tcl".

The setup file is loaded into console, but every command is commented out (every line has #), and it doesnt run.

What is the trick to run tcl file ?

    Hi there,

    Can you tell me which version of Vivado you are using?  Linux or Windows?

    I have a copy of the ug480_setup.tcl file, and looking through it, I am not sure I understand what you mean about every line being commented out?  From what I can see, the first 21 lines are comments, then there are 12 processes.  There is actually only 1 line that will execute when you do "source ug480_setup.tcl"

    You then would need to run the processes that are in there to do anything.  For instance, there is a create_project process that will build up the process in Vivado.

    After you source the TCL file, you should be able to run each of the processes by calling the name for which you want to run, such as "ug480_create_project".

    It might be helpful for you to open the tcl in an editor, then run the create project commands one at a time to watch as Vivado works.
