  1. To build for hardware, run the following command:

    cd ..
    make xsa TARGET=hw
    

    or

    v++ -l --platform $PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS/xilinx_vek280_es1_base_202320_1/xilinx_vek280_es1_base_202320_1.xpfm s2mm.xo mm2s.xo libadf.a -t hw --save-temps -g --config system.cfg -o tutorial.xsa
    
  2. Then re-run the packaging step with:

    make package TARGET=hw
    

    or

    cd ./sw
    v++ --package -t hw \
        -f $PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS/xilinx_vek280_es1_base_202320_1/xilinx_vek280_es1_base_202320_1.xpfm \
        --package.rootfs=$PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS/sw/versal/xilinx-versal-common-v2023.2/rootfs.ext4 \
        --package.image_format=ext4 \
        --package.boot_mode=sd \
        --package.kernel_image=$PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS/sw/versal/xilinx-versal-common-v2023.2/Image \
        --package.defer_aie_run \
        --package.sd_file host.exe ../tutorial.xsa ../libadf.a
    cd ..
    

    When you run on hardware, ensure you have a supported SD card. Format the SD card with the sw/sd_card.img file. Then plug the SD card into the board and power it up.

  3. When a Linux prompt appears, run the following commands:

    dmesg -n 4 && echo "Hide DRM messages..."
    cd /run/media/*1
    export XILINX_XRT=/usr
    ./host.exe a.xclbin
    

You should see TEST PASSED. You have successfully run your design on hardware.

IMPORTANT: To re-run the application you need to power cycle the board.
