Packages Ubuntu Needs Installed Prior to Vivado Install: Now I discovered all of these the hard way, but I found that I could have cheated by referring to the reference guide for PetaLinux & it’s installation (which I will post a separate blog for) in UG1144 starting on page 9. Side Note: every time that I upgrade major versions of Vivado (major as in when I upgrade the year like I did going from 2017.3 to 2018.2), I do a Hello World project on my dev of choice just to get an idea of how Xilinx has inevitably rearranged buttons, menus, functionality, etc. I’ll list out the specific ones I found that were needed for me to get a Hello World project on a Zynq dev board up and running. There are a few other things we have to do to prep Ubuntu itself before we get to the Xilinx Downloads page. The installation notes in UG973 for Vivado 2018.2 also specify Ubuntu 16.04 as being the only version of Ubuntu officially supported. I’ve already noticed Xilinx’s forums have cropped up with issues between their tools and Ubuntu 18.04 so personally I’d prefer to give Xilinx some time to get their stuff stable with Bionic Beaver. Now I am fully aware that Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver is out and available, but I don’t have the heart to update yet as I know it’ll probably break something within my Xilinx install here. Having experience with it both on Windows and Linux and on different hardware, the following system requirements are what I’ve found to make your life much easier:ġ00GB free space on your HD (Vivado needs 52GB - 54GB just to be installed initially, then you still want to leave room for your future projects) As an initial disclaimer, I have to say that Xilinx’s tools are quite the memory space hogs.
