Create Vitis Project from Vivado

New 2019.2 reference designs provide scripts to generate platform project with local repository for the given reference design.

After implementation/bitstream generation run on Vivado TCL console: TE::sw_run_vitis

• Scripts generate Platform with the given article name of the project. The overview window will not closed by default in this case, please close or minimise this vitis tab().
  
  

Create XSA with Vivado

This step must be done with Vivado. Synthesis (for xsa without bitstream) or implementation/bitstream step (for xsa with bitstream) must be done before.

• File→ Export Hardware...
  

Include local repositories

This step is need for local trenz SDK libraries. Add <reference design folder>/sw_lib to the repository_

• Xilinx → Repositories

2. Add name:
   
3. Select Create from XSA
   
4. Select XSA File
   Depending on usage: Change Operating system or Processor
   Recommended: Select Generate Boot components, which generates fsbl for Zynq or ZynqMP devices and pmufw for ZynqMP as separate domain into the Platform project
   

Create Domain
