Quick Reference: Platform-based Flow with AI Engine (Linux)

Step 1

Sytem and Solution Planning
Review Versal™ product and system architecture Select target device Identify performance requirements Identify power requirements Identify I/O requirements Review and select PCI Express® and Ethernet protocols Partition the design into minimum static items and kernels Identify additional design requirements

Step 2

Individual design processes can be performed in parallel during step 2.

Platform Development	AI Engine Development
Create and validate the base design in Vivado® using partitioning guidelines Declare platform properties: clocks, resets, AXI interfaces, interrupts, and other properties as needed Export emulation XSA if needed Create the bit image file (BIF) Generate hardware platform Package the hardware Package the software Test and verify the platform	Develop AI Engine kernels and ADF graph Test and validate AI Engine kernels and ADF graph Integrate PL/AI Engine/PS host application Test and validate w/hardware emulation Test and validate in hardware
	HW & IP Development
	Create PL kernels using RTL Create PL kernels using HLS
	Board System Design
	Evaluate device capabilites Perform schematic entry Lay out and simulate the board design Prototype, build, and test
Embedded SW Development
PetaLinux Flow Create new PetaLinux project using DSC from Vivado Modify project settings Modify Linux kernel settings Build entire system including firmware Build boot collateral Alternate Linux Flows Yocto Linux from scratch

Step 3

System Integration & Validation
System Simulation Implementation Run Vitis V++ linker Run Vitis V++ package System Bring up and Validation
