The DPU requires a device driver which is included in the Xilinx Vitis™ AI development kit.
Free developer resources can be obtained from the Xilinx website: https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/ai-inference/ai-developer-hub.html#edge.
The Vitis AI User Guide (UG1414) describes how to use the DPU with the Vitis AI tools. The basic development flow is shown in the following figure. First, use Vivado/ Vitis to generate the bitstream. Then, download the bitstream to the target board and install the related driver. For instructions on installing the related driver and dependent libraries, see the Vitis AI User Guide (UG1414).
