Tcl Commands for General Usage
This section describes the Xilinx Tcl commands for general usage. To view a sample script
of how these commands are used, see the “Sample Tcl Script for General Usage” at the end
of this chapter.
partition (support design preservation)
The partition command is used to create and manage partitions, which are used for design
preservation. A Partition is set on an instance in a design. The Partition indicates that the
implementation for the instance should be preserved and reused when possible.
% partition <subcommand>
Partition names should follow the naming conventions of the HDL source. In general, the
local name of a top-level partition is set to the name of the design, which is based on the
top-level entity or module in the HDL source. The full hierarchical name of a top-level
partition is a forward slash (/) followed by the local name. For example, if the design name
is stopwatch, then the hierarchical name for the top-level instance is /stopwatch. It is
always necessary to give the full name of any instance or partition that you specify on the
command line. Partition names are case-sensitive.
