The Boundary Logic Interface (BLI) constraint instructs the Vivado placer to place a flip flop cell into the BLI resources that exist at the interface between Programmable Logic and XPIO/AI Engine resources. BLI resources can help optimize the timing of the interface. The Vivado placer will only place the flip-flop cell into the BLI resource if connectivity, control set, and initial value criteria are met.

Architecture Support

Versal Adaptive SoCs

Applicable Objects

Flip-flop cells (get_cells) connected to applicable XPIO or AI Engine primitives.

Value

TRUE
The flip-flop cell will be placed into the BLI resource if connectivity, control set, and initial value criteria are met.
FALSE
The flip-flop cell will not be placed into the BLI resource (default).
AUTO
Currently unsupported.
