Referencing PMod pins from XDC

catherineh
catherineh over 12 years ago

I'm trying to reference the pins the pmod pins. With a UCF, you would add something like:

NET JA1 LOC = "Y11"

Where JA1 is the name of the pin on the board and Y11 is a reference you can find in the schematics.

However, it seems that Vivado no longer supports ucf, and instead uses XDC. Does anyone know the equivalent syntax in XDC? Is it something like:

set_property PACKAGE_PIN "JA1" [get_ports "Y11"]

    I have added an XDC file for ZedBoard at http://www.zedboard.org/documentation/1521. Please see if this has the information you need and give us some feedback.

    Following this document:

    http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xilinx.com%2Fsupport%2Fdocumentation%2Fsw_manuals%2Fxilinx2012_2%2Fug911-vivado-migration.pdf&ei=qjUzUpa4KqHY2wWGjYDwAw&usg=AFQjCNFFOtYO0eYx2azuu8P1QJwwDb0KiA&sig2=REaQ8aj3I-OIk1jebN5MTg&bvm=bv.52164340,d.b2I

    It seems like I need the command:

    set_property LOC Y11 [get_ports JA1]

    However, when I do this the error on implementation of:

    'set_property' expects at least one object.

    so I guess it still doesn't work...

    oops, should have refreshed the page before posting this. So following the XDC on the website, the format is:

    set_property PACKAGE_PIN Y11 [get_ports {JA1}]

    running synthesis now... will report back

    I added this file to my project and I get the error:

    [Common 17-55] 'set_property' expects at least one object.

    on pretty much every line in the file...

    Did you edit the file to make sure your project net names match the XDC? Did you remove the XDC lines that aren't referenced in your project?

    Hey Bryan,

    I get exactly the same error when I open and attempt to implement the basic Vivado design provided on the Zedboard website. Is there something I have to do to the vivado design provided in order for it to work?
