Open the Vitis Unified IDE, and select a workspace.
On the Welcome Page, select Create Platform Component, or select File → New Component → Platform.
Set the platform component name to base_pfm_vek385 and click Next.
Select Hardware Design and use the XSA generated during the previous step and click Next
Set the Operating System to aie_runtime and the Processor to ai_engine and click Next. Then click Finish to create the platform component.
Then build the platform by clicking on Build In the flow navigator with the base_pfm_vek385 component selected.
NOTE: If you modify the XSA file later, go to vitis-comp.json located in the Settings folder of the platform component and click switch xsa
The generated platform can be found in
workspace/base_pfm_vek385/export.
In this step, you created the platform starting with building the hardware platform in the Vivado Design Suite. Then, you built the platform in the Vitis software platform, based on the exported XSA file.
Note: The vivado platform creation can be automated by running “make vitis_platform”
In the next step, you will build an AI Engine application using this platform.
