Rules

Every public rule in rules_vivado, grouped by the build phase it belongs to. All of them resolve their Xilinx install through a registered vivado_toolchain.

Project setup

• vivado_create_project — emit a Vivado project without running synthesis (useful for IDE handoff).

Synthesis

• vivado_synthesize — run synthesis from an HDL library and produce a synthesis checkpoint (.dcp).
• vivado_synthesis_optimize — post-synthesis optimization pass on a synthesis checkpoint.

Implementation

• vivado_placement — placement on a synthesis checkpoint.
• vivado_place_optimize — post-placement optimization on a placement checkpoint.
• vivado_routing — routing on a placement checkpoint.

Bitstream

• vivado_write_bitstream — emit the final .bit (and optionally .xsa) from a routing checkpoint.

End-to-end flow

• vivado_flow — convenience macro (loaded from @rules_vivado//vivado:defs.bzl) that chains synthesis → opt → placement → place-opt → routing → bitstream into one target name. See the Quick start for a worked example.

IP packaging

• vivado_create_ip — package an HDL module as a Vivado IP core.
• vivado_interface_definition — generate IP-XACT bus + abstraction definitions from a SystemVerilog interface.
• vivado_create_interface_ip — register an interface definition as an IP catalog entry so block designs can use it.

Simulation

• xsim_test — run a Vivado XSim simulation as a Bazel test target.

Toolchain

• vivado_toolchain — declare a Vivado install for toolchain resolution. See Toolchains for the full workflow.

Providers

• VivadoToolchainInfo and friends — the providers passed between phases (VivadoSynthCheckpointInfo, VivadoPlacementCheckpointInfo, VivadoRoutingCheckpointInfo, VivadoIPBlockInfo, VivadoInterfaceInfo).
