Totally scripted Vivado - notes on the documentation

• UG895 - Vivado Design Suite User Guide - System level design entry - 128 pages, 2024
• UG892 - Vivado Design Suite User Guide - Design flows overview - 96 pages, 2024
• UG894 - Vivado Design Suite User Guide - Using Tcl scripting - 111 pages, 2022
• UG835 - Vivado Design Suite User Guide - Tcl command reference - 1950 pages.
• UG888 - Vivado Design Suite User Tutorial - Design Flows Overview - 47 pages.

UG888 has a step by step tutorial on how to use Tcl in the Vivado Tools.
UG892 describes Tcl scripted batch mode versus interactive IDE mode.

UG894 has a nice introduction to Tcl and should be a nice Tcl refresher in the context of Vivado.
