Build a bitstream from Vivado?

[f5mzn]

Hi-

In order to teach myself with red pitaya, I'd like to make some tiny modifications of the sdr_transceiver_122_88 project (thanks to Pavel for providing it).

I have been able to generate the project file in order to open it in the `Vivado` GUI and I wondered what is the best way to generate the bitstream. For now, I manually modify the tcl files from the project folder (reflecting the mods I done in GUI) and then re-launch a `make NAME=sdr_transceiver_122_88 bit` (after a clean) which is quite a long and impractical process. Is there something better to do? Sorry it this is a stupid question... I might miss something obvious!

Thanks and best regards.

Olivier.

If you prefer to use the GUI, then it is possible to do all editing and bitstream generation in the Vivado GUI.

Here are the steps that I use for this type of workflow:

• build Vivado project

  Code: Select all

  make NAME=sdr_transceiver_122_88 PART=xc7z020clg400-1 xpr

• open project in Vivado GUI

  Code: Select all

  vivado tmp/sdr_transceiver_122_88.xpr

• modify project in Vivado GUI
• generate bitstream in Vivado GUI
