Trying to make Vivado more git-friendly on Windows.
C:\Program Files\Git\bin
(or wherever you have your git.exe
) to your PATH
Add init.tcl
(or append the relevant lines if you already have something in it) along with the scripts
directory to %APPDATA%\Roaming\Xilinx\Vivado
.
Vivado is a pain in the ass to source control decently, so these scripts provide:
A modified write_project_tcl_git.tcl
script to generate the project script without absolute paths.
A git wrapper that will recreate the project script and add it before committing.
When first starting with a project, create it in a folder called work
(eg. C:/.../PROJECT_NAME/work
) . All the untracked files will be under this directory.
Place your source files anywhere you want in your project folder (usually in the C:/.../PROJECT_NAME/src
).
Here is an example of a possible project structure:
PROJECT_NAME
├── .git
├── .gitignore
├── project_name.tcl # Project generator script
├── src/ # Tracked source files
│ ├── *.v
│ ├── *.vhd
│ └── ...
└── work/ # Untracked generated files
├── project_name.xpr
├── project_name.cache/
├── project_name.hw/
├── project_name.sim/
└── ...
Initiate the git repository with git init
on the Tcl Console. This will create the repository, automatically change to your project directory (C:/.../PROJECT_NAME
), generate the .gitignore
file and stage it.
Stage your source files with git add
.
When you are done, git commit
your project. A PROJECT_NAME.tcl
script will be created in your C:/.../PROJECT_NAME
folder and added to your commit.
When opening the project after a cloning, do it by using Tools -> Run Tcl Script...
and selecting the PROJECT_NAME.tcl
file created earlier. This will regenerate the project so that you can continue working.
