Setting up the Environment - 2024.2 English - XD100

When the elements of the Vitis software platform are installed, update the shell environment script. Set the environment variables to your system-specific paths.

To set up XRT, if you have not done this already, run the following command:

* source \<XRT-Location\>/setup.sh

In the design directory of each implementation, edit sample_env_setup.sh script with your file paths, then source the environment script:

source sample_env_setup.sh

The script sets up the environment variables and sources scripts explained below:

1. The PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS environment variable is based on where you downloaded the platform.

2. The XILINX_TOOLS_LOCATION path to the AMD tools is used to source the settings64.sh script.

3. The XLNX_VERSAL path to the xilinx-versal-common-v2024.2 directory is used in the step below.

4. The platform is set up by running the xilinx-versal-common-v2024.2/environment-setup-cortexa72-cortexa53-xilinx-linux script as provided in the platform download This script sets up the SDKTARGETSYSROOT and CXX variables. If the script is not present, you must run the xilinx-versal-common-v2024.2/sdk.sh script.

5. DSPLIB_VITIS is the path to the downloaded Vitis Libraries. This is only required for the AI Engine implementation.

6. In the script, you can optionally set up an XRT_ROOT environment variable, pointing to XRT - RPMs, which can be packaged in the Vitis compiler packaging step. If it is not set up, this environment variable is automatically excluded from packaging.

7. The script also sets up the PLATFORM variable pointing to the required .xpfm file of the target platform set by the variable tgt_plat.
