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

    Usage: viv_upgrade_ip <IP Directory> [--recursive]
    - <IP Directory>: Path to the IP XCI file.

# Hardware Management

## Launch Vivado Hardware Console

    viv_hw_console: Launch the Tcl hardware console

    Usage: viv_hw_console

## List connected JTAG devices

    viv_jtag_list: List all devices (and their addresses) that are connected to the system using the Xilinx platform cable

    Usage: viv_jtag_list

## Program device over JTAG

    viv_jtag_program: Downloads a bitfile to an FPGA device using Vivado

    Usage: viv_jtag_program <Bitfile Path> [<Device Address> = 0:0]
