Getting Started

In order to prepare the framework for use, it is first necessary to build it. This step compiles all the relevant files into a single shared library (libxilinxfintech.so), that may then be linked against by the users application.

Environment Setup

A couple of environment setup scripts are provided. These setup several environment variables that are required by the build process.

CSH:

cd xf_fintech/L3/src
source env.csh

BASH:

cd xf_fintech/L3/src
source env.sh

These scripts set up the following environment variables:

• XILINX_FINTECH_INC

  • This points to xf_fintech/L3/include

• XILINX_FINTECH_LIB_DIR

  • This points to xf_fintech/L3/src/output (where libxilinxfintech.so is placed after building)

• XILINX_XCL2_DIR

  • This points to xf_fintech/ext/xcl2

The script also modifies LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add the location of libxilinxfintech.so to it

Building the library

To build libxilinxfintech.so:

cd xf_fintech/L3/src
make

After the build is complete, libxilinxfintech.so should be available in xf_fintech/L3/src/output
