Need help for fpga programming environment setup and installation (vivado)
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2021 4:21 pm
Hi,
i'm a newcomer to the red pitaya familiy. It seems to me, that the red pitaya is a good platform for developing a fpga-based DAQ-System. I have a question setting up the fpga programming environment for the red pitaya. Here are my steps which should help others as well:
1.) Operating System
The actual (2021/08) red pitaya developer guide tested the installation on 18.04. I have downloaded the 18.04.4 version. Furthermore i have not updated to 18.04.5 or other versions to avoid problems with installing Vivado 2020.1. (For example the installer hangs or the gui of the installer isn't working!)
2.) Preparations for installation
Before installing Vivado and the SDK i have done alle preparations as decribed in Build Red Pitaya ecosystem and Prerequisites.
3.) Installing Vivado
After registration i downloaded Vivado 2020.1. I have installed vivado webpack just with the zynq-package.
HERE COMES THE PROBLEM:
4.) Installing the SDK
The guide says, i have to install Vivado 2020.1 and then the Xilinx SDK development environments 2019.2, but i can't find this SDK.
Which SDK should i take? SDK 2019.1
or the unified
Vitis SDK 2019.2
I hope someone can help me. I will expand the thread if i get ahead.
Thank you!
