Setting up the AUBoard-15P in Vivado

Penguingineer
Penguingineer 3 months ago
Hello,
The issue:
I recently purchased the AUBoard 15P FPGA Development Kit, and I want to set up my Vivado 2024 installation so that it can recognize this development kit. I downloaded the board definition files from the Avnet Github page (https://github.com/Avnet/bdf), but Vivado isn't listing the AUBoard 15P board as an option for new projects.
Fix attempt #1:
Vivado lists this location for board definition files for version 2021 and up, so I added it to my list of board repositories, but Vivado still isn't doesn't list the board as an option, so I can't select it when creating a new projecft:
<Vivado Install>\<Vivado_version>\data\xhub\boards\XilinxBoardStore\boards\Xilinx\

Fix attempt #2:
I found an article that creates an AUBoard project using Vivado by first creating a project from a VCU118 evaluation board, and then changes the target board to the AUBoard. I am unable to create a project using the VCU118 evaluation board, because after I download it, it disappears from the list of selectable boards:

I need help to get Vivado to recognize the AUBoard, so I can create a new project. If anyone can provide any insight as to what might be going wrong here, I would be extremely grateful!
Thank you,
- Austin

    Hi everyone, here's the fix that worked for me to be able to select the AUBoard-15P when creating a new project:

    In Vivado, top toolbar > Help > Add Design Tools or Devices. Then I installed every available board, and that did the trick.

    Hope this might help someone who ran into the same issue as me!
