Finally Installed Vivado, Xilinx SDK, and PetaLinux but versions 2019.1

15 Oct 2019

I installed the Vivado and Xilinx SDK tools along with Petalinux using the instructions from the link: http://avnet.me/AvnetTTC_VM [Oracle VM VirtualBox Installation Instructions for Windows and Linux Virtual Machine Creation Targeting Avnet Development Boards]

They use versions of the tools from 2018. However, I installed the 2019.1 version of everything including Petalinux. I modified a few things unique to me. It was mostly error free however I ran into an issue with the Petalinux install.

I used gksudo gedit /etc/xinetd.d/tftp to Create /etc/xinetd.d/tftp.

I find it easier to use gedit for editing in Ubuntu than vi or nano.

I ran into a weird permission issue with running ./petalinux-v2019.1-final-installer.run

I had to do a chmod 777 on the file to finally get it to work.

The final result are shown below:

I just found in HW Lab 4, there is a TCL script that we have to run, and it checks for the version of Vivado, and requires it to match 2018.3. You could probably just change the script manually to look for a different version - it is located in the folder. See Experiment 2, step 9. Step 10 has the student manually open the script to view it.

I agree as well. It could make trouble shooting harder since you won’t know if there is a compatibility issue or something else. Good luck with the training!

I concur based on my experience. Hopefully 2019 version doesn't give Cary any headache ahead.

I found the different versions of Vivado were a real pain - especially IP,s sample code or guides that wouldn't work with a newer version and weren't updated.
