And don't get me started on trying to version control a Vivado project. It's like they didn't even consider the possibility of committing a project to source control! I last used Vivado about 2 years ago but doubt things have changed much. It really makes me wonder how Xilinx does it in-house.
I was just about to say this! We’ve recently hacked our Vivado project into git. This requires unpacking all packages and ignoring compiled packages. Plus a bunch of bat files to handle house keeping.
A big part of the issue is compiling packages. I think this is a thing because synthesis takes so long.
Until synthesis time is reduced, I think we’ll see these hack-y solutions.
