3 Source files names must start with a letter (A-Z, a-z) and must contain only alphanumericcharacters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and underscores (_). Output files names must start with a letter (A-Z, a-z) and must contain only alphanumericcharacters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and underscores (_). Project names must start with a letter (A-Z, a-z) and must contain only alphanumericcharacters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and underscores (_). Project directory names must start with a letter (A-Z, a-z) and should contain onlyalphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), tilde (~) and underscores (_).CAUTION! The Windows operating system has a 260 character limit for path lengths which can affect theVivado tools. To avoid this issue, use the shortest possible names and directory locations when creating projects,defining IP or managed IP projects, or creating block following characters are not supported for project, file, or directory names: !

(dot as terminal character)The following character is not supported for file or project names: @Note: In the Vivado IDE, the @ character is not supported for new file or project names. The Vivado IDEdoes allow an existing file on disk that uses the @ character to be added to a project. The Vivado IDEcan open a project that includes the @ character in the project name. Using the Tcl Console, you cancreate a project with a name that contains the @ ! Spaces in directory and file names are supported by the Windows operating system. However, youshould avoid using spaces in order to preserve portability of the project or files between the Windows and Linuxoperating 1: Release NotesUG973 ( ) June 7, 2019 Design Suite Release Notes 6 Send FeedbackThe Vivado Design Suite supports the use of forward slashes (/) as path delimiters for bothWindows and Linux platforms.
