Description
Hi,
I was going with all the instructions from the documentation here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jrrk2/docs/docs/, but the bitstream generation failed with the error from the screenshot.

It seems strange that it is not finding vivado command even after sourcing the settings script. Also, just after this, if I execute vivado from the terminal, it starts as usual. I would really appreciate some help here.

Research direction
Start with the linked documentation and reproduce the bitstream-generation command shown there. Compare the environment after sourcing the settings script with the terminal where Vivado launches successfully, using the screenshot as the reported failure state. Done means the documented generation flow finds Vivado and completes successfully.
