Run TCL scripts from previous version of vivado's on Vivado 2020.1

[yj]

I have a reference design for KCU105 10GBASE-R Ethernet TRD User Guide that runs a script for Vivado 2017.3.

I have Vivado 2020.1, when I run the script on the TCL console an error is generated:

ERROR: [BD_TCL-109] This script was generated using Vivado <2017.3> and is being run in <2020.1> of Vivado. Please run the script in Vivado <2017.3> then open the design in Vivado <2020.1>. Upgrade the design by running "Tools => Report => Report IP Status...", then run write_bd_tcl to create an updated script.

Is there a way to run scripts in Vivado 2020.1 rather than downloading Vivado 2017.3 and run it on it.

I'm afraid not.

There are many releases between 2017.3 and 2020.1.

IPs would have many changes that needs to be handled in IP upgrading in the GUI.

A direct migration can be very difficult.
