Running the “Hello World” Application on Arm Cortex-R5F - 2025.1 English - UG1209

Select hello_r5 and select the settings icon beside the Run button in the flow tab.

Select New Launch Configuration.

The Vitis IDE creates the new run configuration, named hello_r5_app_hw_1. The configurations associated with the application are pre-populated in the Main page of the launch configurations.

Select the launch.json file and review the settings.

This file is exported when you create the platform using the Vitis IDE; it contains the initialization information for the processing system.

Click Run.

“Hello World” appears on the serial communication utility in Terminal 1, as shown in the following figure.

Because the “Hello World” applications for Cortex-A53 and Cortex-R5F are identical, they cannot be differentiated based on the print contents, but you can view the details in the Debug Perspective.

If you view the XSDB console, it shows the XSDB command history as shown in the following example:
