Vitis HLS is delivered as part of the Vitis unified software platform. For instructions on installing the tool, refer to Installation in Vitis Unified Software Platform Documentation: Application Acceleration Development (UG1393).
Tip: For information on the
Vitis HLS release, and known limitations of the
release refer to AR# 75342.
After you have installed the elements of the Vitis software platform, you need to setup the operating environment to
run Vitis HLS in a specific command shell by running
the settings64.sh bash script, or settings64.csh
script:
#setup XILINX_VITIS and XILINX_VIVADO variables
source <Vitis_install_path>/settings64.sh
Tip: While the Vitis unified software platform also requires the
installation and setup of the Xilinx Runtime (XRT)
and hardware platforms, these elements are not required for the use of Vitis HLS.
