  1. Check the AMD Kria™ K26 SOM wiki, and download the BSP package from the following link: https://www.xilinx.com/member/forms/download/xef.html?filename=xilinx-k26-starterkit-v2023.2-final.bsp

    Save it to WorkSpace directory.

  2. Set up the PetaLinux environment.

    cd WorkSpace
mkdir kv260_petalinux
cd kv260_petalinux
source <petaLinux_tool_install_dir>/settings.sh

  3. Update the PetaLinux eSDK to enable the recipes needed by the Starter Kit SOM BSP.

    petalinux-upgrade -u 'http://petalinux.xilinx.com/sswreleases/rel-v2023/sdkupdate/' -p 'aarch64'

  4. Create PetaLinux with the Starter Kit SOM BSP, and the XSA export from step 1.

    petalinux-create --type project -s xilinx-kv260-starterkit-v2023.2-final.bsp
cd xilinx-kv260-starterkit-2023.2
petalinux-config --get-hw-description=<vivado_design_dir> --silent

  5. Add XRT to rootfs.

    KV260 PetaLinux BSP does not enable Xilinx Runtime (XRT) because it installs XRT with an overlay. To create sysroot for application developer cross compiling, enable XRT in the rootfs. All the XRT required libraries are packaged into one group.

    • Run petalinux-config -c rootfs to launch rootfs configuration window.

    • Go to Petalinux Package Groups -> packagegroup-petalinux-vitis-acceleration-essential.

    • Enable packagegroup-petalinux-vitis-acceleration-essential and packagegroup-petalinux-vitis-acceleration-dbg.

    • Press Exit to exit configuration. Press Save to save the configuration.

  6. Build PetaLinux and generate SDK.

    petalinux-build
petalinux-build --sdk

    The PetaLinux image files and sysroot sdk.sh will be generated in <PetaLinux Project>/images/linux directory. You will use them in the next step.
