A custom platform is a bootable design to which the Vitis linker adds the adaptable subsystem. The custom platform must contain the following base components:
- A base hardware design exported from the Vivado Design Suite
- A base software design that includes a Linux kernel, root file
system, and device treeNote: Alternatively, bare-metal is also supported.
Recommended:
Xilinx recommends a parallel approach for a faster development cycle. For
example, as the adaptable subsystem developers work on the AI Engine graph and the PL kernels, other developers can simultaneously
work on the custom platform.
