Reference Design (Vivado Project) for UltraZed-EV Kit

Question

Hello,

I am switching from the original ZedBoard to an UltraZed-EV Start Kit.
My Problem is that I am unable to find a working reference design (preferrably bare-bones as it can get) for Vivado.
I tried to start with the following project as a template:

UltraZED-EV + IO Carrier Card VCU Design Example (v2018.3)

But the scripts somehow fail to create the block design in Vivado.

I managed to install the board, and get the master xdc file but there I am stuck.

If someone can help me I'd be very happy.

Thank you and have a nice day!

With best regards,

ertgtct

I suggest you start with the latest 2020.2 design, which was announced in this blog

Updated Designed By Avnet BSP & Platforms for v2020.2 tools, the clutter reduction edition!

The instructions for building that design is here

Using Avnet Build Scripts to Build a PetaLinux BSP (2020.1 and later)

If you want something even simpler than that and using the GUI version of the tools, you could follow along what was done with Ultra96-V2 to install the board definitions into Vivado and build a basic hardware platform. Of course the instructions are specific for Ultra96-V2, but it may be close enough that you could adapt to any other board with a board definition.
