In TCL FPGA wizards trust. The best way to learn TCL is exposure therapy which we will be doing here using two examples: One for creation of a project with synthesis and implementation steps and another for simulation.


Summary

GLENN Kirilow provides a hands-on introduction to using Tcl for FPGA workflows through two practical examples: automating a project with synthesis and implementation steps, and driving simulation runs. Readers will learn real Tcl commands and patterns to script common FPGA toolchain tasks and improve repeatability and testing.

Key Takeaways

  • Automate project creation and tool invocation with reusable Tcl procedures
  • Script synthesis and implementation flows to run batch builds reliably
  • Set up and run simulations from Tcl to streamline waveform generation and testbenches
  • Integrate Tcl-based FPGA flows into CI and regression testing pipelines
  • Manage constraints, IP instantiation, and build artifacts programmatically

Who Should Read This

Embedded and FPGA engineers who are comfortable with HDL and FPGA tools and want practical guidance on using Tcl to automate builds, simulations, and CI-driven testing.
