Vivado batch mode
When invoking Vivado tools from DOS, you first need to run the file settings64.bat (located in your Xilinx install area e.g. C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2017.3) in order to get your path updated as appropriate. https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2017_3/ug975-vivado-quick-reference.pdf
FSM attributes
“fsm_safe_state” attribute will direct Vivado Synthesis to insert logic into a state machine that specifies what should happen in the case of an illegal state. “power_on_state” attribute forces the state machine into the power-on state using Hamming-2 encoding detection for one bit/flip.

As a result the hardware manager shows two different signal waveform window and separate triggers without any apparent way to have a common trigger signal between the two. Many times we have felt the need to …
