New Versal AI support, timing analysis improvements, faster compile, legacy project compatibility.
Migrating Legacy Projects
A newer Vivado auto-upgrades old project files on open; work on a copy first: watch for changes in device-library support, re-run synthesis and implementation, and re-check timing constraints. Gains come from new device support, improved timing analysis and faster compilation, while the classic 7-series flow stays unchanged.
