Install Vivado, Vitis and PetaLinux on Windows Sublayer for Linux

Jan Cumps
Jan Cumps over 3 years ago

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.

    WSL2 is a different beast to v1 which couldn't display a GUI. I remember trying to install Vivado and petalinux on WSL quite a while ago. I think it was 2019.1 and perhaps in the early days of WSL2.…

    Fun fact: Windows draws a little Tux in the taskbar icon for this Linux GUI program, and appends (Ubuntu) on the tooltip text:

    For 2024.1, some extra steps are needed.

    Before running the installer, to avoid that it hangs during the post-processing steps:

    sudo apt install libncurses5

    Vitis uses VSCode now, I had to install this lib. Else it would silently close.

    sudo apt-get install libnotify4
