Getting Started¶

In order to use Graph L3, the sofware and hardware requirements should be met and the shared library (libgraphL3.so) should be built and linked in the users application.

Software Requirements¶

CentOS/RHEL 7.8 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Xilinx RunTime (XRT) 2020.2
Xilinx FPGA Resource Manager (XRM) 2020.2

Hardware Requirements¶

Alveo U50

Environment Setup¶

BASH version setup scripts are provided. Users should select their proper setup script depending on their shell version.

BASH:

source /opt/xilinx/xrt/setup.sh
source /opt/xilinx/xrm/setup.sh
source /opt/xilinx/xrm/tools/start_xrmd.sh

These scripts set up the following environment variables:

XILINX_XRT
- This points to /opt/xilinx/xrt/
XILINX_XRM
- This points to /opt/xilinx/xrm/

Building the dynamic library¶

In order to build libgraphL3.so, please follow the following steps:

cd xf_graph/L3/lib
./build_so.sh

After the build is complete, libgraphL3.so should be available in Vitis_Libraries/graph/L3/lib
