Open a run into a netlist or implementation design

Syntax

open_run [‑name <arg>] [‑pr_config <arg>] [‑quiet] [‑verbose] <run>

Returns

Design object

Usage

Name	Description
`[-name]`	Design name
`[-pr_config]`	PR Configuration to apply while opening the design (only valid when opening a synthesis run)
`[-quiet]`	Ignore command errors
`[-verbose]`	Suspend message limits during command execution
`<run>`	Run to open into the design

Description

Opens the specified synthesis run into a Netlist Design or implementation run into an Implemented Design. The run properties defining the target part and constraint set are combined with the synthesis or implementation results to create the design view in the tool.

This command is intended to open a synthesized or implemented design that was created from design runs in Project Mode in the Vivado Design Suite.

Use the open_checkpoint command to open a Non-Project based checkpoint into memory, opening the design in Non-Project Mode. Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Design Flows Overview (UG892) for more information on Project Mode and Non-Project Mode.

Arguments

-name - (Optional) This is the name assigned to the synthesized or implemented design when the run is opened by the Vivado tool. This name is for reference purposes, and has nothing to do with the top-level of the design or any logic contained within.

-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.

<run> - (Required) Specifies the run name of the synthesis or implementation run to open. The run must have completed synthesis or implementation before it can be opened as a design.

Note: If you attempt to open a run that has not been launched the tool will return an error.

Examples

The following command opens the specified synthesis run into a Netlist Design named synthPass1:

open_run -name synthPass1 synth_1

The following opens an Implemented Design for impl_1:

open_run impl_1
