Versal Prime -VMK180 Evaluation Kit Tutorial

Integrating the overlay into the Platform

Integrating the overlay into the Platform¶

Introduction:¶

This document provides the steps to integrate the overlay consisting of accelerated functions into the platform.

Prerequisites:¶

Vitis Unified Software Platform 2021.1

Accessing the Tutorial Reference Files¶

Note: Skip the following steps if the design files have already been cloned and extracted to a working repository

To access the reference files, type the following into a terminal:

 git clone --branch 2021.1 --recursive https://github.com/Xilinx/vmk180-trd.git

Navigate to the vmk180-trd which is the working directory.

Integrating an overlay (accelerator functions) into a Vitis Extensible platform¶

Go to the working directory
```
cd $working_dir/
```
To compile and integrate the overlay into the platform, run the following command. The Makefile calls a lower level Makefile to run Vitis. If a platform is not already available it builds that as well.
```
make overlay PFM=<val> OVERLAY=<val> 
```
Overlay currently supported are listed below

Application name	Platform name(PFM)	Overlay(OVERLAY) Supported
Multimedia TRD	vmk180_multimedia_platform	filter2d_pl
PCIe TRD	vmk180_pcie_platform	filter2d_pl

The generated XSA and xclbin will be located at
```
$working_dir/overlays/examples/filter2d_pl/binary_container_1.xsa 
$working_dir/overlays/examples/filter2d_pl/binary_container_1.xclbin
```
The xclbin and XSA generation may take couple of hours depending on the system specification. They will be used to build the Petaliunx image
