Essential Concepts for Building and Running the Accelerated Application

Introduction

The following labs will introduce you to the essential concepts for building and running an accelerated application using the Vitis™ core development kit.

Before You Begin

The labs in this tutorial use:

• BASH Linux shell commands.
• 2019.2 Vitis core development kit release and the xilinx_u200_xdma_201830_2 platform. If necessary, it can be modified to use other software releases and platforms.

IMPORTANT:

• Before running any of the examples, make sure you have installed the Vitis core development kit as described in Installation.
• If you run applications on Xilinx® Alveo™ Data Center accelerator cards, ensure the card and software drivers have been correctly installed by following the instructions in the Getting Started with Alveo Data Center Accelerator Cards Guide (UG1301).
