Description
Defines a new fileset within a design project. Files can be added to a newly created fileset using the add_files command.
A fileset is a list of files with a specific function within the project. One or more constraint files is a constraint set (-constrset); one or more simulation test benches is a simulation set (-simset). Only one fileset option can be specified when using the create_fileset command. As a default, the tool will create a constraint fileset if the type is not specified.
create_fileset -blockset command to configure an IP core, or hierarchical module of the design, as an out-of-context (OOC) block. The block fileset, or blockset, creates a hierarchical file collection for the IP or module specified with the -define_from option. The files related to the specified hierarchical module will be moved from their current fileset to the new blockset. When the blockset is created, the Vivado® Design Suite also defines out-of-context synthesis and implementation runs for the block. The output products for the OOC module are stored in the blockset, including the synthesized design checkpoint (DCP) and any required structural simulation netlists. Stuctural simulation netlists are needed when a behavioral model for the block is not available, or is not available in the language supported by the target simulator. You can define an out-of-context constraint file for the IP or moduleif needed, and add the at to the block fileset as well.
The create_fileset command returns the name of the newly created fileset, or will return an error message if it fails.
Arguments
-constrset - (Optional) Creates a constraint set to hold one or more constraint files. This is the default fileset created if neither the -constrset, -simset, or -blockset argument is specified.
-simset - (Optional) Create a simulation fileset to hold one or more simulation source files. You can only specify one type of fileset argument, either -constrset or -simset. You will get an error if both are specified.
-blockset - (Optional) Create a block fileset to configure an IP core or hierarchical module for out-of-context design.
-blockset option requires the -define_from option to specify the IP or module to use as the top-level of the blockset.
-clone_properties <arg> - (Optional) Clone the properties of a specified fileset to add to the newly created fileset. This is useful for ensuring that new filesets are created with needed properties such as USED_IN.
-define_from <arg> - (Optional) Specify the top-module of an IP core to define the block fileset.
-blockset option is used.-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.
set_msg_config command.
<name> - (Required) The name of the fileset to be created.
Examples
