I'm thinking only the device that Vivado 2017.2 supports can be added.
In my test, if Vivado 2017.2 can't find the new device (it means Vivado 2017.2 can't support the device), then we can not add the device, as the "source" step will fail.
All in all: Vivado 2017.2 can't find the device -> Vivado 2017.2 can't support the device -> the "source" step fails -> can not add the device
