The Vitis™ unified software platform provides a Platform+Kernel structure to help developers focus on the applications. The decoupling of platform and kernel helps make the platform reusable with multiple kinds of kernels and vice versa.

Xilinx provides pre-built platforms for Alveo™ and embedded evaluation boards. You are free to create your own embedded platforms or customize the Xilinx embedded platforms.

The Vitis software platform is an environment for creating embedded software and accelerated applications on heterogeneous platforms based on FPGAs, Zynq®-7000 SoCs, and Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoCs. This document focuses on using embedded platform for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC.
