After the software program and the kernel code is written, you can build the application, which includes compiling the software program, and linking the platform with the PL kernel file to create the device binary (.xclbin). The build process follows a standard compilation and linking process for both the software program and the kernel code. After building, both the host program and the FPGA binary, you will be ready to run the application.
The following figure shows the high-level steps required to use the Vitis tools flow to integrate your application. The
command-line process to run this flow is described here.
Note: You can also use this flow from within the
Vitis IDE as explained in
Launching Vitis
Unified IDE in the Vitis Reference Guide (UG1702).
