3.2 Opening the Development Kit
To open the development kit in Vivado, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Start Vivado
2. In the menu bar, select Tools > Run Tcl Script...
3. Open the file
<Extract root>/devkit.tcl
. The Tcl console will output message similar to this:
*** ADQ3 Series Development Kit ***
Revision: r59529
Usage:
devkit_setup - Create project
devkit_build - Build project
devkit_analyze - Analyze implemented design
devkit_mcs
- Generate .mcs firmware file.
(Not needed if devkit_build is used.)
At this point, the Tcl commands specific to the development kit have been defined and are available in
the Tcl console. The project is now ready to be set up for first-time use.

Note
The development kit for ADQ3 series digitizers works differently compared to previous products since
building the user logic areas no longer requires special Tcl commands. See Section 3.5 for details.
3.3 Setting Up the Project
To set up the development kit, execute the command
devkit_setup
in the Tcl console. The process may take a moment to finish. Once the setup is complete, a Vivado
project has been created and the design is ready to be built. This step only has to be completed once,
after which the following directories will have been created:
<Extract root>/
artifacts/
latest/
Contains firmware files from the most recent build.
log/
Contains firmware files from previous builds.
build/
Contains all generated project files.
reports/
Contains the results from the development kit analyzer tool (see Section 3.6 ).
3.3.1 Configuration

framework/config.vh

should not be changed by the user—these are clearly marked. Other parameters may be modified and
