AMD Vivado Design Suite
AMD Vivado Design Suite is a software tool used to design and develop hardware circuitry for programmable devices like Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and System-on- a-Chip (SoC) made by AMD.
require libraries
sudo apt install libtinfo-dev libtinfo.so.6 libncurses.so.6
the suite actually needs libtinfo5 and ncurses5. but we can cheat it by creating symbolic links
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5
install the Cable Driver
In Linux, the driver needs to be manually install.
go to the Vivado install directory
cd <Vivado Install>/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/ ./install_drivers
Run
my installation is
>cd /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2024.1 >source settings64.sh >vivado
A simple program
A youtube video 5 - End-to-End FPGA Project on the Nexys A7 by Anas Salah Eddin is very good introduction.
Reset the board
