The <ip_associated_rules> tag is used to define a preferred board interface, or a prioritized list of board interfaces that can be assigned to the IP interfaces on a specific IP. This tag is new in the 2.1 schema version of the Board file.

The Designer Assistance feature of the Vivado IP integrator lists the available board interfaces for a given IP interface. See the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Designing IP Subsystems Using IP Integrator (UG994) for more information on Designer Assistance. The <ip_associated_rules> lets you define which board interfaces can be applied to a specific IP interface.

Tip: The <ip_associated_rules> tag can be used to define any IP interface, but is most useful for clocks and resets which typically have more defined board interfaces.
