The Vivado Design Suite supports the following established industry design standards:

  • Tcl
  • AXI4, IP-XACT
  • Synopsys design constraints (SDC)
  • Verilog, VHDL, VHDL-2008, SystemVerilog
  • SystemC, C, C++

The Vivado Design Suite solution is native Tcl based with support for SDC and Xilinx design constraints (XDC) formats. Extensive Verilog, VHDL, and SystemVerilog support for synthesis enables easier FPGA adoption. Vivado High-Level Synthesis (HLS) enables the use of native C, C++, or SystemC languages to define logic. Using standard IP interconnect protocol, such as AXI4 and IP-XACT, enables faster and easier system-level design integration. Support for these industry standards also enables the electronic design automation (EDA) ecosystem to better support the Vivado Design Suite. In addition, many new third-party tools are integrated with the Vivado Design Suite.
