Vivado Installation Tutorial

1.1 Vivado Explanation

Vivado is an Integrated Design Environment (IDE) developed by Xilinx (now AMD) used for designing, simulating, and implementing digital circuits on FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays). It serves as the primary software tool to take a VHDL hardware description and turn it into a functional circuit on a physical chip. Vivado itself is a complete, integrated workshop for Xilinx FPGAs. It has all the tools you need (design, simulation, implementation) under one roof. 

Before choosing Vivado be cautious that Vivado requires atleast 60gb of storage and a demanding CPU performance.
