After selecting your device, choosing and configuring the IP, and writing the RTL and the constraints, the next step is implementation. Implementation compiles the design through synthesis and place and route, and then generates the file that is used to program the device. The implementation process might have some iterative loops. This chapter describes the various implementation steps, highlights points for special attention, and gives tips and tricks to identify and eliminate specific bottlenecks.

Note: The implementation steps are run automatically as part of the Vitis™ environment flow. You can improve performance by applying the techniques described in this chapter using the Vitis command line options and configuration file. For more information, see the Vitis Unified Software Platform Documentation (UG1416).
