If you do not have an existing or up-to-date ISE Project Navigator (.xise) project file or PlanAhead tool (.ppr) project file, you can use the Xilinx Synthesis Technology (XST) project file to import initial settings for a Vivado Design Suite project. To import an XST project file:
  1. Select File > Project > New.
  2. Select Project name and location.
  3. In the New Project Wizard, select Imported Project.
  4. Select XST, and select the appropriate project file with a .xst extension.
After you have imported the project file:
  • Review the Import XST Summary Report for important information about the imported project.
  • Ensure the selected device meets your requirements, and if it does not, select a new device. If the XST project does not have an equivalent supported device in the Vivado Design Suite, a default device is selected.
  • Review the files in the Sources view to ensure all design files were imported properly.

For information on the next steps in design flow, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: System-Level Design Entry (UG895).
