Hello all

I'm new to sythesis & I am currently using Vivado & would like to get my head arround somethings.

Vivado has this funcationally of adding files with a predefined fileset.

Or as a user you can create a fileset

Commands in the tcl console
Code: 
add_files file1
add_files -fileset constrs_1 file2
add_files -fileset sim_1 file3
What is this doing? I am trying to get my head round the point of this.

Vivado "help create_fileset" says the following
A fileset is a list of files with a specific function within the project.
One or more constraint files is a constraint set (-constrset); one or more
simulation test benches is a simulation set (-simset). Only one fileset
option can be specified when using the create_fileset command. As a
default, the tool will create a constraint fileset if the type is not
specified."
Click to expand...

Also what is a blockset & when /why would you use it?

Many Thanks,
Wes
 

Re: Vivado & filesets

The fileset is just a list of all the files of a particular type like a source_1 fileset would have the file names of all your sources VHDL/Verilog. This allows the tools to find all the files for a design without having to explicitly call them out on a command line.

Oh, yeah and a blockset I believe is for the block diagram tool.
