Description

Reset the current project to its starting condition, with source and constraint files, by cleaning out the various output files created during synthesis, simulation, implementation, and write_bitstream. Also resets the state of the project to the start of the design flow.

Tip: Any user-defined Tcl variables that are in the global namespace (i.e. not in a project-specific namespace) are not reset or cleared by this command. Global variables are persistent with the invocation of Vivado and are only cleared when the Vivado Design Suite is closed. You can also use the unset command to expressly clear a specific Tcl variable.

Arguments

-exclude_runs - (Optional) Exclude the <project>.runs folder from the reset process. In this case, the runs folder will be preserved, while the rest of the project data will be removed.

-exclude_ips - (Optional) Exclude the <project>.srcs/sources_1/ip folder from the reset process. In this case, the IP folder, containing the IP cores and generated targets, will be preserved, while the rest of the project data will be removed.

-exclude_sim_runs - (Optional) Exclude the <project>.sim folder from the reset process. In this case, the simulation folder will be preserved, while the rest of the project data will be removed.

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

Example

The following example resets the current project, while preserving the simulation run data, and returning all messages regardless of message limits:

reset_project -exclude_sim_runs -verbose
