Getting Started

Setup environmental variables and create initial project

1. set $XILINXD_LICENSE_FILE to point to the relevant license server
2. make sure vivado 2018.2 executable is in $PATH or aliased appropriately
3. cd OpenCAPI3.0_Client_RefDesign/scripts
4. Source the correct setup_environment script

• If using csh,

source ./setup_environment.csh

• If using ksh,

. ./setup_environment.ksh

5. cd .. (go back to the OpenCapiBuilds directory)
6. vivado -source create_project.tcl -tclargs --speed {speed}

TCL ARGS are optional.

Example Commands:
vivado -source create_project.tcl
vivado -source create_project.tcl -tclargs --speed 25.78125

If TCL ARGs are not specified, the default values are:

speed	card	afu
25.78125	ad9v3	AFP

Accepted TCL Arg Values

speed	card	afu
25.78125	ad9v3	AFP
25.625
20

This will open an instance of the Vivado GUI and create the initial Vivado project inside the directory: **viv_proj**
To reopen the Vivado project at a later time, use the following command from the OpenCAPI3.0_Client_RefDesign directory:

vivado viv_proj/viv_proj.xpr

create_project.tcl updates

• Currently, only one card and one AFU are supported. However, the directory structure and create_project.tcl script were designed to allow flexibility with building any AFU on any card.
• New AFUs should be placed under ./afu
• New cards should be placed under ./board_support_packages
