Creating a new Zybo Z7 project in Vivado

First, use the createNew.sh script in vivado_workspace/project_tcl you can run the script from wither the project_tcl folder, or the vivado_workspace. This will generate a new project and it's raw project tcl. Any tiem you add sources, change the block diagram, or otherwise change with settings, run write_project_tcl <projname>.tcl at the tcl console. YOU ARE NOT DONE YET

Necessarry Changes to tcl files

I feel that there should be a way around this, but I haven't found it yet.

• You need to change the project to auto-generate a new wrapper when re-created. This is done by removeing the follwoing lines from the .tcl file

    # Import local files from the original project
    set files [list \
     [file normalize "${origin_dir}/PWM_Recorder_Tests/PWM_Recorder_Tests.srcs/sources_1/bd/design_1/hdl/design_1_wrapper.vhd" ]\
    ]
    set imported_files [import_files -fileset sources_1 $files]

    # Set 'sources_1' fileset file properties for remote files
    # None

    # Set 'sources_1' fileset file properties for local files
    set file "hdl/design_1_wrapper.vhd"
    set file_obj [get_files -of_objects [get_filesets sources_1] [list "*$file"]]
    set_property -name "file_type" -value "VHDL" -objects $file_obj

and adding the following at the end of the file:

    make_wrapper -files [get_files ${origin_dir}/${_xil_proj_name_}/${_xil_proj_name_}.srcs/sources_1/bd/design_1/design_1.bd] -top
    add_files -norecurse ${origin_dir}/${_xil_proj_name_}/${_xil_proj_name_}.srcs/sources_1/bd/design_1/hdl/design_1_wrapper.vhd
