pyvado 1.1.0

Python vivado control API for synthesis, simulation and report automation.

Pyvado

Python Vivado API

Motivation

This project aims to provide a simple and as much comprehensive as possible tools for controlling vivado with python methods for vivado automation

Structure

Pyvado is base on multiple manager, each runing a specific part of vivado. Manager are follows:

1. TCLManager : Basic manager for runing TCL command
2. ProjectManager : Vivado project manager
3. FileManager : Vivado file system manager
4. FlowManager : Vivado synthesis flow manager
5. HardwareManager : Vivado hardware manager
6. ReportManager : Vivado hardware report manager
7. SimulatorManager : Vivado simulation manager

These managers communicate to each other via PyvadoSession object and send TCL command directly to vivado process open in batch mode and controlled via PyvadoProcess class.

Installation

pip install pyvado

Usage

Basic synthesis flow annd hbitstream deploy usage

# open Pyvado
with Pyvado("path/to/vivado/project.xpr") as pv:
  # open project
  pv.project.open()

  # add files
  pv.files.add_files("path/to/toplevel.vhd")
  pv.files.add_constraint_file("path/to/const.xdc")

  # run synthesis to bitstream
  pv.flow.set_toplevel("toplevel")
  pv.flow.run_all()

  # deploy bitstream to hardware
  pv.hardware.deploy()

Basic simulation

# open Pyvado
with Pyvado("path/to/vivado/project.xpr") as pv:
  # open project
  pv.project.open()

  # add testbench
  pv.files.add_simulation_file("path/to/testbench.vhd")

  # open simulator
  pv.simulator.open()

  # run 80ns simulation
  pv.simulator.run("80ns")

Basic reports

# open Pyvado
with Pyvado("path/to/vivado/project.xpr") as pv:
  # open project
  pv.project.open()

  # add files
  pv.files.add_files("path/to/toplevel.vhd")
  pv.files.add_constraint_file("path/to/const.xdc")

  # run synthesis to bitstream
  pv.flow.set_toplevel("toplevel")
  pv.flow.synhtesis()


  # open run
  pv.report.open("synth_1")
  pv.report.utilization("path/to/utilization.txt")
  pv.report.power("path/to/utilization.txt")
