Getting Started with Vivado IP Integrator and Vitis

Overview

This guide will work you through the process of setting up a project in Vivado and Vitis. A simple hardware design including a processor with several AXI GPIO peripherals connected to buttons and LEDs will be created. This design will then be exported to the Vitis IDE, and a software project will be created and run which polls the buttons and writes to the LEDs.

Note: Screenshots presented in this guide may not have been taken with your version of the tools. The workflow presented here has been verified in Vivado and Vitis 2020.1. While there are some differences between 2020.1 and older versions of the tools, screenshots taken in 2019.2 have been checked, and contain the same user interfaces that are seen in 2020.1.

Next Steps

At this point, your application is running, and printed messages can be seen. Congratulations, you have finished this guide!!!

The hardware project and application created here can be used as a basis for future work. See instructions found in Update an Existing Vitis Platform's Hardware Specification (Redirect) for additional information on how the hardware design can be switched out later.
