This step combines the generated software application and the hardware platform to generate a bitstream to directly load onto the AMD Spartan™ UltraScale+™ FPGA SCU35 evaluation board. This includes associating the elf file to the MicroBlaze V processor, going through the implementation process, and generating the bitstream.

This step assumes that you already generated the hardware platform and software application.

On Linux, to set up the Vivado environment in a terminal window, source <Vivado_install_path>/settings64.sh. To generate the device image, type the following in the directory where the TRD was cloned:

make pdi

The following message displays indicating where to find the device image:
