 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.
