Installing Vivado and Digilent Board Files

介绍

This guide will show the process of installing and configuring the Vivado development environment, used for developing projects to run on Digilent FPGAs. In addition to the installation, Vivado will be pointed at Digilent's board support files, which are used to make the process of creating a new project significantly faster. In addition, the board files make it significantly easier to add a variety of peripherals (such as DDR memory) to a project.

Prerequisites

  • 20+GB免费的硬驱动空间。

Guide

1. Install Vivado

1.1

OpenXilinx的下载页面在新标签中。查找标题为“ Vivado Design Suite -HLX版本-2018.2完整产品安装”的页面部分。为适当的操作系统选择“自提取Web安装程序”下载。请按照提示登录或创建Xilinx网站的帐户。登录后,Internet浏览器将下载所选的安装程序。

1.2

To launch the installer, choose the dropdown for the appropriate operating system, and follow the instructions:

视窗

使用Windows资源管理器找到安装程序executable in the Downloads directory. Double click on the executable to run it.

Linux

导航到在终端应用程序中下载安装程序二进制文件的目录,然后使用正确的文件名输入以下命令,以将其作为超级用户执行:

chmod +x .bin && sudo ./.bin

笔记:All use of Vivado in Linux should be done as a super-user.

这rest of the steps in Section 1 are the same for both Windows and Linux.

1.3

在欢迎屏幕上,请确保在兼容性列表中列出了所使用的计算机的操作系统,然后单击下一个.

1.4

Use the same credentials as on the Xilinx website for user authentication. Select theDownload and Install Nowoption and click下一个.

1.5

Read andacceptall three license agreements, then click下一个.

1.6

On the “Select Edition to Install” screen, several options are presented. Vivado WebPACK Edition is fully free, but will not work when developing for Digilent FPGAs that use a Kintex-7 or Virtex-7 part. Vivado Design Edition can be used without a license, and is the edition recommended by Digilent. A license is required to use Vivado System Edition. This guide does not cover the acquisition and management of licenses. Select the most appropriate edition for the situation, then click下一个.

1.7

This screen provides more detailed options for the customization of the installation. The majority of these options do not need to be changed for a basic installation, but unnecessary features can be removed to reduce the installation's footprint on the file-system - for example, most users will not need their Vivado installation to support Ultrascale, Kintex, or Virtex devices. The important options for a beginner to note here are described in the list below. Review the selections, then click下一个.

  • Design Tools:
    • Vivado Design Suite:
      • Installs the main Vivado development environment.
    • 软件Development Kit:
      • Installs an Eclipse-based development environment for Microblaze and Zynq designs.
    • DocNav:
      • 安装导航工具,以快速查找IP和示例的适当Xilinx文档。
  • Devices:
    • Allows customization of the set of Xilinx FPGA parts that can be designed for after installation.
  • 安装选项:
    • 安装电缆驱动程序:
      • 安装适当的驱动程序,以便可以对连接的FPGA进行编程。如果之前没有安装Vivado,请确保检查此问题!
    • Acquire or Manage a License Key:
      • Launches the Xilinx License manager after installation is complete.Most users do not need to manage licenses.

笔记:通过到完成后,可以对安装进行更改
Help → Add Design Tools or Devices在Vivado工具栏中。

1.8

“选择目标目录”屏幕显示了将安装放置在计算机文件系统中的方式和何处。将所有这些设置作为默认设置通常很好。点击下一个和thenYesif prompted to confirm that the installer will be creating a new directory.

1.9

Review the “Installation Summary”, then clickInstall.

1.10

如右侧的屏幕截图所示,安装过程将花费相当长的时间。找到其他工作,直到完成为止。

1.11

Vivado is now successfully installed! If the “Acquire or Manage a License Key” box was checked in Step 1.7, the Vivado License Manager will launch. The majority of users will not need a license to use Vivado, so the License Manager can just beclosed.

2.在Linux上安装电缆驱动程序

视窗users may skip this section and continue on to步骤3.

2.1

Vivado安装程序不安装在Linux系统上识别FPGA所需的USB驱动程序,无论是否检查了该选项。为了安装这些驱动程序,请导航到/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/”控制台窗口中的目录。这directory is typically the“/opt/xilinx/vivado/*/”目录 - 代表Vivado版本号(2018.2)的“*”。从此目录中,运行“ ./install_drivers”作为超级用户的命令。此命令成功完成后,将安装所需的驱动程序。

笔记:一些较旧的Vivado版本可能要求在使用前从焦油文件中提取install_drivers命令。

2.2

为了将USB驱动程序与串行终端一起使用,必须将使用串行终端的每个用户添加到拨号组中。串行终端对于调试实现USB-UART控制器的FPGA设计非常有用。可以将用户添加到拨号组中“sudo adduser $USER dialout”命令。请注意,这仅添加当前活动的用户。为了在身份验证为root时添加非super用户,请使用命令“adduser dialout”相反,用“ ”替换为要添加的用户名称。

3.安装Digilent板文件

3.1

下载档案of the vivado-boards Github repository and extract it wherever desired.

3.2

Open the file “Vivado_init.tcl” in the “utility” subdirectory of the vivado-boards repo. This file is a script that will be run whenever Vivado is launched. It will load Digilent's board files for use in Vivado from the directory they were extracted into. Change the text“ <提取路径>”在脚本中,到了Vivado板的提取位置。节省closethe file.

笔记:在安装Vivado版本2016.4及以上时,应使用文件init.tcl代替vivado_init.tcl。

3.3

Copy Vivado_init.tcl and paste it into the“%APPDATA%/Xilinx/Vivado/”directory for Windows or“$HOME/.Xilinx/Vivado/”(作为超级用户身份验证后)在Linux中。

In Conclusion

Vivado现已安装,它可以访问Digilent的董事会文件!要开始使用Vivado开发项目,请查看以下一个教程:
