Vivado Notes

• We are not supporting any Vivado version before 2014.1
• Xilinx has dropped 32-bit support for version 2015.1 (or later).  If you are building on a 32-bit Linux kernel, you will need to use 2014.4 (or earlier).
• We are only supporting "Incremental Compile" for version 2015.3 (or later) <http://www.xilinx.com/video/hardware/incremental-compile-updates-for-2015_3.html>
• We are not supporting Vivado 2017.1.  This is due to lots of batch mode related bugs in 2017.1 release, which got fixed in 2017.2.
• Starting 2019.2, Partial Configuration" renamed to Dynamic Function eXchange (DXF)

...

• We don't support Vivado HLS for version 2014.2 because requires too many manual soft-links to be created for the library paths to make it work.
• 2021.1 ~ 2022.1 incorrectly mucks up the include paths (A.K.A. CFLAGS env variable)
• 2022.1 synthesis compiler doesn't obey C++syntax
• 2023.2 - INFO: [HLS 200-2053] The vitis_hls executable is being deprecated. Consider using vitis

Partial Configuration

• Before Vivado 2016.4, partial configuration was not supported in project mode (only batch mode)
