  • How to export your Vivado design with Model Composer HDL IP to a software environment ( Vitis™ software platform).
  • How Model Composer automatically creates software driver files for AXI4-Lite interfaces.
  • How to integrate the Model Composer driver files into your software application.

Procedure

This lab has two primary parts:

  • In Step 1, you will review the AXI4-Lite interface and associated C drivers.
  • In Step 2, you will export your Vivado design to a Vitis software environment and run it on a board.
