SDSoC 2018.2

SDSoC Platforms Projects with Examples are available for some Modules, see TE Reference Designs Overview and Trenz Electronic Download Area.

Install Trenz Electronic SDSoC Platform

(optional) Create SDSoC Platform from TE Reference Design

1. Requirements:
   
   1. SDSoC 2018.2 (Includes automatically VIVADO 2018.2 and Vivado HLS 2018.2)
   2. (optional) Petalinux 2018.2
2. Unzip Reference Design
   1. Do not change base folder name after extraction!
3. Enable SDSOC, set install path of Xilinx tools, set your hardware assembly option in: "design_basic_settings.cmd"
4. Create Reference Design: run "vivado_create_project_guimode.cmd"
5. VIVADO:
   1. TCL-Console type: TE::hw_build_design -export_prebuilt
   2. (optional) find hardware handoff file .hdf under prebuilt folder, build your own Petalinux image using Petalinux BSP provided under os folder and place new images to correct subfolder in prebuilt/os
