Install AMD Vivado Lab Edition¶

A bit of background¶

Vivado Lab Edition enables debug access to DPUs connected to EGSE Host. Due to licensing restrictions, KP Labs can’t pre-install Vivado Lab on EGSE Host. This guide describes how to install Vivado Lab on EGSE Host.

Steps¶

1. Download Vivado Lab for Linux from AMD website.

2. Transfer downloaded file to EGSE Host.

   my-machine:~$ scp Vivado_Lab_Lin_....tar.gz customer@egse-my-egse.egse.sml.lan:~/
   

3. Log in to EGSE Host

   my-machine:~$ ssh customer@egse-my-egse.egse.sml.lan
   customer@egse-my-egse:~$
   

4. Run sml install-vivado-lab command to automatically install Vivado Lab.

   customer@egse-my-egse:~$ sudo sml install-vivado-lab ~/Vivado_Lab_Lin_....tar.gz

   Note

5. Verify installation by checking status of hw_server service.

   customer@egse-my-egse:~$ systemctl status hw_server.service
   ● hw_server.service - AMD Xilinx Vivado Lab hw_server

                  └─30876 /opt/xilinx/vivado_lab/current/bin/unwrapped/lnx64.o/hw_server
   

6. If hw_server is running, you can connect to it locally from EGSE Host or from your workstation.
