The embedded software flow is different from the Vitis application acceleration flow in that it requires a fixed platform or XSA to integrate your Application executable with. The embedded software flow described here requires a fixed hardware design and drivers for that hardware.
To create an Application component you can select .
Tip: Alternatively you can select
Create Embedded Application from the
Embedded Development group
of the Welcome page.
- Input the Application component name and specify the location. Click Next.
- Select a fixed platform and select Next.Note: If you do not have an existing fixed platform, refer to Managing the Vitis HLS Components in the Vitis Unified IDE to create a platform. If your target platform is not in the list, you can add it by clicking the '+' button.
- Select the processor domain to run your application in, and select Next.
- Review the summary page of the Application component and select Finish to create the component.
With the Application component created for the specific processor domain of a fixed platform, you can now add the source files and include files to the component as described in Creating an Application Component.
