Version

2023.1 English

With all the AI Engine outputs and the new platform created, you can now generate the packaged SD card directory contains everything to boot Linux and have your generated application and .xclbin.

To package the design, run the following command:

make package

cd ./sw
v++ -p -t sw_emu  \
    -f $PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS/xilinx_vck190_base_202310_1/xilinx_vck190_base_202310_1.xpfm \
    --package.rootfs=$PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS/sw/versal/xilinx-versal-common-v2023.1/rootfs.ext4 \
    --package.image_format=ext4 \
    --package.boot_mode=sd \
    --package.kernel_image=$PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS/sw/versal/xilinx-versal-common-v2023.1/Image \
    --package.defer_aie_run \
    --package.sd_file embedded_exec.sh \
    --package.sd_file host.exe ../tutorial.xsa ../libadf.a
cd ..

NOTE: By default the --package flow will create a a.xclbin automatically if the -o switch is not set.

The following table describes the packager options:

Switch/flag	Description
`rootfs`	Points to the formatted image of the platform.
`image_format`	Tells the packager what the image format is.
`boot_mode`	Determines how the design is going to be run.
`kernel_image`	Points to the Image file created by PetaLinux.
`defer_aie_run`	Tells the packager at boot to not start the AI Engine and let the host application control it.
