The Vitis platform creation workflow for DFX platforms is almost identical to the flat platform with the following exceptions

  • The platform creation can be created with python CLI flow only. Vitis IDE does not support to create DFX platforms.

  • When creating the DFX platform, both static XSA and RP XSA are required. Static XSA will be used to create boot.bin. RP XSA is used to link acceleration kernels.

  • The device tree generation is automatic with help of sdtgen and lopper part of Vitis tool chain.

  • Using generate_platform.py and build_platform.py we create and build the platform with python CLI flow.
