The scripts are looking for a previous run result, a routed design
checkpoint to use it as a reference during the incremental build flow.
Before clearing the project files, the scrips will save the reference dcp
file in the project folder.
If the reference dcp does not exists the build continues normally.
Proposed workflow:
1. Build your project normally with 'make' or place manually a
reference.dcp file in the Vivado project folder.
2. Do some minor modifications
3. Run the make with the following option:
make MODE=incr
4. Repeat steps 2-3
The standard Makefile output is very noisy and it can be difficult to
filter the interesting information from this noise.
In quiet mode the standard Makefile output will be suppressed and instead a
short human readable description of the current task is shown.
E.g.
> make adv7511.zed
Building axi_clkgen library [library/axi_clkgen/axi_clkgen_ip.log] ... OK
Building axi_hdmi_tx library [library/axi_hdmi_tx/axi_hdmi_tx_ip.log] ... OK
Building axi_i2s_adi library [library/axi_i2s_adi/axi_i2s_adi_ip.log] ... OK
Building axi_spdif_tx library [library/axi_spdif_tx/axi_spdif_tx_ip.log] ... OK
Building util_i2c_mixer library [library/util_i2c_mixer/util_i2c_mixer_ip.log] ... OK
Building adv7511_zed project [projects/adv7511/zed/adv7511_zed_vivado.log] ... OK
Quiet mode is enabled by default since it generates a more human readable
output. It can be disabled by passing VERBOSE=1 to make or setting the
VERBOSE environment variable to 1 before calling make.
E.g.
> make adv7511.zed VERBOSE=1
make[1]: Entering directory 'library/axi_clkgen'
rm -rf *.cache *.data *.xpr *.log component.xml *.jou xgui
*.ip_user_files *.srcs *.hw *.sim .Xil .timestamp_altera
vivado -mode batch -source axi_clkgen_ip.tcl >> axi_clkgen_ip.log 2>&1

Currently the individual IP core dependencies are tracked inside the
library Makefile for Xilinx IPs and the project Makefiles only reference
the IP cores.
For Altera on the other hand the individual dependencies are tracked inside
the project Makefile. This leads to a lot of duplicated lists and also
means that the project Makefiles need to be regenerated when one of the IP
cores changes their files.
Change the Altera projects to a similar scheme than the Xilinx projects.
The projects themselves only reference the library as a whole as their
dependency while the library Makefile references the individual source
dependencies.
Since on Altera there is no target that has to be generated create a dummy
target called ".timestamp_altera" who's only purpose is to have a timestamp
that is greater or equal to the timestamp of all of the IP core files. This
means the project Makefile can have a dependency on this file and make sure
that the project will be rebuild if any of the files in the library
changes.
This patch contains quite a bit of churn, but hopefully it reduces the
amount of churn in the future when modifying Altera IP cores.

Currently the IP component dependency in the Makefile system is the Vivado
project file. The project file is only a intermediary product in producing
the IP component definition file.
If building the component definition file fails or the process is aborted
half way through it is possible that the Vivado project file for the IP
component exists, but the IP component definition file does not.
In this case there will be no attempt to build the IP component definition
file when building a project that has a dependency on the IP component.
Building the project will fail in this case.
To avoid this update the Makefile rules so that the IP component definition
file is used as the dependency. In this case the IP component will be
re-build if the component definition file does not exist, even if the
project file exists.

The project Makefiles for the Xilinx projects share most of their code. The
only difference is the list of project dependencies.
Create a file that has the common parts and can be included by the project
Makefiles.
This drastically reduces the size of the project Makefiles and also allows
to change the Makefile implementation without having to re-generate all
Makefiles.
