cd WorkSpace
source <Vivado_Install_Directory>/settings64.sh

Download the Versal Customer Extensible Embedded Platform Example.

• Click menu Tools -> Vivado Store...

• Click OK to agree to download open source examples from web.

• Select Example Designs ->Platform -> Versal Extensible Embedded Platform part_support , and click the download button on the tool bar.

• Click Close after the installation is complete.

  

Create the Versal Extensible Embedded Part Support Platform Example project.

• Click File -> Project -> Open Example...

• Click Next.

• Select Versal Extensible Embedded Platform (Part based) in Select Project Template window. Then click Next.

• In Project Name dialog set Project name to custom_hardware_platform, and confirm your project location is in Workspace directory. Keep Create project subdirectory option checked. Then, click Next.

• In default part dialog, select the silicon model. Select XCVC1902-vsva2197-2MP-e-S as the chip on VCK190 board is XCVC1902-vsva2197-2MP-e-S, which you can find on board user manual.

  

• Click Next. The following table displays.

  

• Configure the Clocks Settings. You can enable more clocks, update output frequency, and define default clock in this view. In this example, you can keep the default settings.

• Configure the Interrupt Settings. You can choose how many interrupt should this platform supports. 63 interrupts mode will use two AXI_INTC in cascade mode. In this example, you can keep the default setting.

• Enable AIE or not. In this example, you can keep the default setting.

• Click Next.

• Review the new project summary and click Finish.

• After a while, you will see the design example has been generated.

The generated design is simliar to the following:

At this stage, the Vivado block automation has added a Control, Interface & Processing System (CIPS) block, AXI NOC block, AI Engine, and all supporting logic blocks to the diagram. However, board level-related configurations are not set as different board has different resources. Then you will configure the CIPS PS part and DDR related parameters according to the board.
