The Vitis™ core development kit is provided with example designs. These examples can:

  • Be a useful learning tool for both the Vitis IDE and compilation flows such as makefile flows.
  • Help you quickly get started in creating a new application project.
  • Demonstrate useful coding styles.
  • Highlight important optimization techniques.

Every target platform provided within the Vitis IDE contains sample designs to get you started, and are accessible through the project creation flow as described in Create an Application Project.

A limited number of sample designs are available in the <vitis_root>/samples folder, and many examples are also available for download from the Xilinx® GitHub repository. Each of these designs is provided with a Makefile, so you can build, emulate, and run the code entirely on the command line if preferred.
