What it can do

Opens .xpr projects, runs synthesis, implementation and bitstream generation, and checks the run's real status and progress.
Reads WNS, TNS, WHS and THS, critical paths, utilisation and ERROR or CRITICAL WARNING messages.
Controls XSim simulation, queries hierarchy, ports, nets and cells, and runs arbitrary Tcl.
Writes long reports to disk and returns them in sections; a doctor command checks the Vivado path, Tcl session and Unicode round trip.
