Programming the Clock Generator Reference Design – 2024.1 Is NOT Working

9 Jan 2026

I am stuck at the Vitis Select OS and Processor step in the : Programming the Clock Generator Reference Design – 2024.1.

I used the prebuilt xsa file to generate a Vitis package: The Software never displays an OS and Processor selection for the design.

I then used the scripts in the pl folder to build the design in Vivado. I then tried to load that design in Vitis. I seem to be stuck at the same point every time - Vitis Select OS and Processor step does not display an OS and processor choice. Can you share any insights?

This behavior in Vitis is often related to a mismatch between the XSA and the platform metadata. If the hardware design doesn’t include a valid PS configuration or domain definition, Vitis won’t present OS/processor options. You might want to regenerate the XSA ensuring the PS is properly configured and that the Clock Generator and processing system are correctly exported. Also confirm you’re using the same tool version (Vivado/Vitis 2024.1) for both steps.

Also, this is probably best posted in the board forum for the AUBoard-15P.

That seems like a software installation issue for Vitis. I assume you mean you do not see a selection when you are trying to create the platform in vitis. I would uninstall and re-install vitis.

Do you have the AVNET BSP/Board files installed?

I don't really have experience with Vitis, so no idea if Vitis even needs these, but worth a try.
