The scripts generating the projects files typically only work correctly with
one specific version of Vivado. If a incorrect version is used the script
may fail at some point with a cryptic error message or may not fail but
create a bitstream that is not working as expected, e.g. unconnected
signals, etc. This patch adds a version check to adi_project_create that
will error out early on stating that the wrong version of Vivado was used
and which is the right version to use.
By default the required version will be the version that is required by the
common scripts. Individual projects can overwrite the required version by
setting the REQUIRED_VIVADO_VERSION variable to the required version or can
bypass the version check completely by setting the IGNORE_VERSION_CHECK
variable to 1.
Callers of the script can also disable the version check by setting the
ADI_IGNORE_VERSION_CHECK environment variable.

In 2014.2 tool version, the way how a definition file needs to be applied is different
The command "apply_bd_automation" should be used, instead setting property PCW_IMPORT_BOARD_PRESET
In non-project mode (PR design flow), after creating the static design the type of the board is set.
NOTE: the definition file for mitx must be installed accordingly in order to get this work
See link: http://zedboard.org/support/documentation/2056
+ Rewrite the pr_verify process, to improve verification time
+ Update the implementation flow: always the biggest logic will be implemented first, to achieve a better result
therefore force the tool to optimize the first logic with 'ExploreSequentialArea'
+ Make utilization report just from the PR pblock, that's more relevant as the utilization report of the whole fabric
- Change implementation strategy to Performance Explore.
At some projects, this could prevent timing issues, it not
increase the overall implementation time in a dramatic way.
The FMCOMMS1 meets timing on ZED/ZC702 only if the phys_opt_design step
is part of the implmentation flow, with the Explore argument.
"This step performs physical optimizations such as timing-driven
replicaiton of high fanouts nets to improve timing results"
