SDSoC doesn't support all the boards that PetaLinux Tools supportsĪs far as I am aware, the Linux kernel drivers for the Xilinx® Kintex UltraScale FPGA KCU1500 Reconfigurable Acceleration card based on XCKU115-FLVB2104-2-E FPGA and the Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA VCU1525 Reconfigurable Acceleration card based on XCVU9P-L2FSGD2104E FPGA have not been submitted upstream Vivado contains the SDK, SDx contains the SDK and Vivado, PetaLinux Tools includes the SDK If you install Vivado, the SDK, PetaLinux Tools and SDx you could have 2 copies of Vivado and 4 copies of the SDK

Vivado may need up to 50 GB of memory to synthesize a design

You will need to download over 44 GB of installers to install: Vivado (17.1 GB), the SDK is installer (TBD), PetaLinux Tools (6.5 GB) and SDx (includes SDSoC and SDAccel) (20.35 GB). the one that was used at Xilinx, introducing a subtle bug. the customer may use a different version of 'diffstat' vs. This _will_ cause quality issues for customers because their builds will not be 100% reproduceableīecause installing these additional packages is error prone, customers will not be able to reproduce the results that Xilinx has produced, e.g. the versions of all packages are note listed These additional packages are specified ambiguously, i.e. PetaLinux Tools and SDx require the user to manually install large lists of additional packages 'IMPORTANT: PetaLinux v2018.1 works only with Vivado 2018.1.' In the 2018.2 PetaLinux Tools Documentation Reference Guide UG1144 (v2018.2) Jit lists: There are also many instances of errors in documentation, for instance: It also implies quality issues between tools. This may imply that tool development at Xilinx is siloed. Vivado, the SDK, PetaLinux Tools, SDSoC and SDAccel Operating Systems support lists are not aligned
