# load petalinux environment
function plx_21p2_run () {
   source /tools/Xilinx/PetaLinux/2021.2/tool/settings.sh
}  # additional TE environment variables to change timeout and used jobs

# additional TE envirnmoent variables
export TE_TIMEOUT=200
export TE_RUNNING_JOBS=16
export TE_WSL_USAGE=1
export TE_EDITOR=notepad++.exe
#export TE_SERIAL_PS=<path>
export TE_COM=/mnt/<path to putty on winOS>
