update the boundary of source designs of a specified block design container cell from its active variant source design or a specified design. Otherwise, update the boundary of a block design from another block design provided
Syntax
update_bd_boundaries [‑from_bd <arg>] [‑check_only] [‑quiet] [‑verbose]
[<of_objects>...]Returns
TCL_OK on success, TCL_ERROR on failure.
Usage
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
[-from_bd]
|
block design to copy the boundary from |
[-check_only]
|
report only the changes made when the boundary is copied, do not save the changes to disk |
[-quiet]
|
Ignore command errors |

Suspend message limits during command execution |

Description
Update (copy) the boundary ports, interfaces, port maps, port width and all parameters of ports and interfaces of a Block Design from another Block Design provided.
- This command may add new and/or remove the existing boundary ports and interface and their parameters which may impact the existing connectivity in the Block Design whose boundary is updated. Connections have to be manually updated.
- Block Design whose boundary is getting updated must be opened before running this command.
This command also enables updating the boundary of variant source designs of a specified Block Design Container (BDC) cell from its active variant source design or a specified variant source design. The Block Design containing the Block Design Container cell /slaves must be opened before updating the BDC variant block designs boundary. After updating the connections and validating the updated variant block designs manually, BDC cell in top Block Design needs to refreshed to reflect the updated changes.
Arguments
-of_objects - Use this option to specify a list of opened Block
Designs for which the boundary will be updated or a list of Block Design Container
cells for which the boundary of variant Block Designs will be updated.
-from_bd - Use this option to specify the Block Design from which
the boundary is copied. Note: This input is optional to update the boundary of
variant source Block Designs of Block Design Container cells as the active variant
Block Design is considered as the default -from_bd.
-check_only -(Optional) Use this option to only list the possible
boundary updates. This input does not modify any Block Design.
-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.

update_bd_boundaries [get_bd_cells /slaves]
INFO: [BD 41-2592] Updated boundary pins and interfaces of variant design slaves_2.bd with active
variant slaves_1.bd design boundary. Some connections may have been removed or design may be stale.
Connections have to be updated manually, validate the diagram and refresh the block container /slavesThe following example updates the boundary of variant source(including active) Block
Designs of Block Design Container(BDC) cell /slaves from one of its variant source
Block Design var_1.bd.
update_bd_boundaries -of_objects [ get_bd_cells /slaves ] -from_bd var_1.bdThe following example updates the boundary of a Block Design
design_1.bd and Block Design design_2.bd from
the boundary of another Block Design design_3.bd.
design_1.bd and design_2.bd must be opened
before updating their boundary.
update_bd_boundaries -of_objects [ get_bd_designs design_1 design_2] -from_bd design_3.bdThe following example checks the boundary updates required for a Block Design
design_1.bd if updated from the boundary of another Block
Design design_2.bd
