Install Vivado, Vitis and PetaLinux on Windows Sublayer for Linux

Jan Cumps

I'm installing the Vitis and Vivado tools on a WSL instance.
Most of tutorials on scripting and build automated are for Linux. I want to test this out.
My WSL runs Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

I was surprised that WSL actually shows the install GUI. I thought it was only capable of terminal activity by default.

If the install succeeds, I'll also install PetaLinux.
The end goal is to build a Non-PYNQ, home made custom Linux image, and generate an SD card for it.
I want to see if I can make a FPGA design, write drivers for the custom hardware, and have the FPGA bitstream automatically loaded when the board starts from that image.
Big goals. I expect it 'll take months.

  • I never used WSL because I think it do not add much more comparing to running VM yourself manually, except it adds lot of communication channels mallware can use for infecting your host from VM. But it is just my own opinion. I used Vivado on Linux (running on Windows) in Hyper-V VM and used X over SSH for "transfering" GUI. It is basically exactly the same WSL do for you out of box, but you are much more flexible which hypervisor you use, you can even run VM on different host (but high bandwidth network is required. X over SSH behave much worse comparing to RDP, I recommend local network only). Finally, It worked well.
