Having a bd.tcl script in every IP is redundant.
adi_ip.tcl:
- add adi_init_bd_tcl - creates a blanch bd.tcl and a
parameters temporary_case_dependencies.mk when compiling an IP.
Its main purpose is to generate the bd.tcl, which will be included in
the IP's file-set.
- adi_auto_fill_bd_tcl will populate the empty bd.tcl based on the
top IP parameters and the presence of these parameters in
auto_set_param_list and auto_set_param_list_overwritable lists.
This task can not be performed by the first described procedure since
the file-set is not yet defined.
adi_xilinx_device_info_enc.tcl:
Split auto_set_param_list_overwritable from auto_set_param_list. As
the name states, some of the parameters are overwritable, this will help
when generating the bd.tcl script.
library.mk:
Include the temporary_case_dependencies.mk if it exists in the
IP root folder. The mentioned *.mk file contains non generic
dependencies for makefiles like targets to clean.
Xilinx:
When calling adi_auto_fpga_spec_params in the x_ip.tcl, parameters like
- FPGA_TECHNOLOGY
- FPGA_FAMILY
- SPEED_GRADE
- DEV_PACKAGE
- XCVR_TYPE
- FPGA_VOLTAGE
will be automatically detected and constrained to predefined pairs of values
from adi_xilinx_device_info_env.tcl
The parameters specified in the blobk diagram of the IP(bd.tcl), will be
automatically assign when the IP is added to a block design.
The "adi_auto_assign_device_spec $cellpath" is called in the init
hook (bd.tcl).

Intel:
Info parameters are set in the VALIDATION_CALLBACK according to
adi_intel_device_info_env.tcl
