I am trying to follow this tutorial:

https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/arty-base-system-design/start 

when I run the tcl code "source ./create_project" .  I got error messages.  I changed this to"source ./create_project.tcl  " and a based system was generated. however I get no wires connecting the many blocks in the base system design.  Tthere was a message to run connection automation.  I click it and about half of the wires were connected.

How do I generate the base system design with this problematic situation?

Hi @hib,

What version of Vivado are you using?

thank you,

I am using 2016.4. I am wondering if I need to install the board files and select Arty.  These steps are not in the tutorial.  does the tcl script handle this.    https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/arty-base-system-design/start

Hi @hib,

You are correct. You should install the board files. Installing the board files was listed as part of the prerequisites.

thank you,

I have the board files installed but that did not help. Also there is no microblaze ip in the block.    I ran the connection automation tool  and it generated some connections but not enough.

Hi @hib,

The BSD link you posted above was made for Vivado 2015.3 and will work for Vivado 205.4 if you change the version to 2015.4 in the system.tcl found in the folder BSD\src\bd. Here is an updated BSD for the Arty that was made for Vivado 2016.4. 

thank you,

Jon

Thanks, but I ran into problems. I deleted and reinstalled vivado to debug.  It would not allow me to complete. I will attempt to try this project if overcome the numerous difficulties posed by vivado and this BSD.
