The Vitis Unified Software Development Platform provides a unified programming model for accelerating Edge, Cloud, and Hybrid computing applications. To develop applications, you will need to download and install the Vitis core development kit from Xilinx Download Center, Vitis 2022.2 will be used for this tutorial.

Note: The Vitis core development kit does not need to be installed on the same server as the Alveo Data Center accelerator card. It can be installed on a system without any cards installed if you only need for development flow, but XRT and target development platform for Alveo card must be installed to work with Vitis.

Alternative Solution

Alternatively, you can also develop and deploy applications on cloud server such as Nimbix , it comes with everything you need to develop your hardware acceleration code and deploy applications to be run on the host server and installed accelerator cards.

Please choose from Alveo ▸ U50 ▸ Xilinx Vitis Unified Software Platform 2020.1 to start a compute desktop at Nimbix. And before launch a Desktop with FPGA, make sure you choose Xilinx U50 at the pull down window of machine type.

For this tutorial, you need to set below environment variable to your Terminal of Nimbix Desktop before start to launch Vitis or run Makefile command we provided with source code.
