To configure the environment to run the Vitis software platform, run the following script in a command shell to set up the tools to run in that shell: 

 #setup XILINX_VITIS and XILINX_VIVADO variables 
source <Vitis_install_path>/Vitis/2021.2/settings64.sh
Tip: .csh scripts are also provided.

This sets up the tools for the Vitis embedded software development flow.

To use any platforms you have downloaded as described in Installing Embedded Platforms , set the following environment variable to point to the location of the platforms:
export PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS=<path to platforms>

This identifies the location of platform files for the tools, and makes them accessible to your design projects.

  • Launch from a desktop button or Start menu command.
  • From a Windows command shell, use settings64.bat: 
    C:> <VITIS_INSTALL_DIR>\VITIS\2021.2\settings64.bat

    And launch: vitis.
