This is for VersalĀ® ACAP. This is mandatory. By default, the top-level system settings are set to generate the PLM.

If you had disabled PLM from menuconfig previously, you can configure the project to build PLM as follows:

  1. Launch top level system settings configuration menu and configure:
    $ petalinux-config
    1. Select Linux Components Selection ---> sub-menu.
    2. Select PLM.
    3. Enter your settings.
    4. Exit the menu and save the change.
  2. Build the PLM when building the project:
    $ petalinux-build
  3. Build the PLM only:
    $ petalinux-build -c plm

The PLM ELF file is installed as plm.elf for Versal ACAP in images/linux inside the project root directory.

For more information on PLM, see Versal ACAP System Software Developers Guide (UG1304).
