Validate a Block Design

Before the Vivado project can be built, the block design must be validated. This step runs an automatic check of the block design to see if there are any potential issues with it. Click the Validate Design button () in the Diagram pane's toolbar (or press the F6 key).

If the design has issues, a dialog will pop up that lists them. It should be noted that most Warnings can be ignored, as can some Critical Warnings. These issues can also be viewed in the Messages tab of the pane at the bottom of the window.

If there are no issues, a dialog will pop up that will tell you so. Click OK to continue.
