Hi Vishwa, To add to what Danny said, while there will never be a Vivado flow for ROACH1/ROACH2, I've been using a vivado-based flow for the SNAP board, which is a kintex-7 platform. Some very limited information about how to obtain and run the flow, aimed at our local (in berkeley) SNAP users is available at https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/SNAP_Bringup
