6. Create the Vitis Platform

6.1. Prerequisites

  • Reference Design zip file
  • Vitis Unified Software Platform 2020.2

6.2. Build Flow Tutorial

Tip

You can skip this tutorial and move straight to the next tutorial if desired. A pre-built Vitis platform file is provided at $working_dir/platform/vck190_base_trd_platform1

Note

The below steps use platform 1 as an example. The same steps can be used for other platforms as well, only the file/directory names with platform1 will be replaced with the targeted platform.

Download Reference Design Files:

Skip the following steps if the design zip file has already been downloaded and extracted to a working directory

  1. Download the VCK190 Base Targeted Reference Design ZIP file
  2. Unzip Contents

The directory structure is described in the Introduction Section

Create a Vitis Extensible Platform:

  1. Use XSCT to generate the Vitis platform

    To create the Vitis platform, run the following xsct tcl script:

    cd $working_dir/platform
xsct pfm.tcl -xsa $working_dir/vivado/project/vck190_base_trd_platform1.sdk/vck190_base_trd_platform1.xsa

    The generated platform will be located at:

    $working_dir/platform/ws/vck190_base_trd_platform1/export/vck190_base_trd_platform1

    It will be used as input when building the Vitis accelerator projects.
