Description
Connects the interface pin of an IP core in the specified block design to the interface of the current board part in the current project or design.
The board part provides a representation of the Xilinx device in the context of the board-level system, and can help define key aspects of the design, such as clock constraints, I/O port assignments, and supported interfaces. The board part file stores information regarding board attributes. The file, called board_part.xml, is located in the data/boards/board_parts folder of the Vivado Design Suite installation area.
The command lets you quickly connect compatible interface pins of an IP integrator block design to the appropriate interface definition on the current board part. To make the connection between the IP core to the board part, the IP integrator of the Vivado Design Suite adds an external interface port and interface connection to the block design. The added external interface port is named for the specified board part interface.
The apply_board_connection commands uses the available interfaces of the current board part defined in the project. An error is returned if the project uses a target part rather than a target board. You can use the current_board_part command to identify the target board used by the project, or get_board_parts to list the boards available for use by the project. Use the get_board_part_interfaces command to determine the list of available interfaces on the current board.
To remove an existing IP interface connection, specify the -ip_intf option, but do not specify the -board_interface. If no board part interface is specified, the IP interface pin is disconnected.
This command returns a transcript of it actions, or returns an error if it fails.
Arguments
-board_interface <arg> - (Optional) Specifies the interface definition to connect to the specified IP core interface. If the -board_interface option is not specified, or is specified with an empty string value, "", an existing connection on the IP interface pin will be removed.
-ip_intf <arg> - (Required) Specifies the interface pin of an IP core in the IP integrator Block Design defined by the -diagram option. The IP Interface pin is specified in the form <IP_core_name>/<interface_pin_name>. In the first example below, the IP core instance name is "/proc_sys_reset_0" and the Interface pin is "/ext_reset", combined as seen in the example.
-diagram <arg> - (Required) The name of the IP integrator block design where the IP core instance is found.
-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.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.

apply_board_connection -board_interface "reset" \
-ip_intf "/proc_sys_reset_0/ext_reset" -diagram "design_2"-board_interface option is an empty string:
apply_board_connection -board_interface "" \
-ip_intf "/proc_sys_reset_0/ext_reset" -diagram "design_2"
