Welcome to the "Special Project on Application Acceleration with High-Level-Synthesis" course. This course offers two discipline trainings: HLS and/or SOC Design.
There are many ways to install Xilinx tools, such as using a virtual machine (VM) or directly on Windows, but I'm going to introduce another method I use: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), it solves the problems of high hardware resource requirements and poor operating efficiency in other methods.
Step 1. Open your terminal and enter wsl -l -o to check the online version of Ubuntu.
Step 2. Enter wsl --install -d <NAME>to install the Ubuntu you want, we use Ubuntu-20.04 in this course.
Step 3. When the download finish, enter your username and password in Ubuntu and run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install libtinfo5 libncurses5 -y
sudo apt install build-essential -y
Step 4. Go to website and download the version you need, here we use 2022.1 in course. (Vesion -> Vitis Archive -> 2022 -> 2022.1, roll down and find Xilinx Unified Installer 2022.1: Linux Self Extracting Web Installer.)
Step 5. Put the installer into WSL and execute
chmod +x Xilinx_Unified_2022.1_0420_0327_Lin64.bin && sudo ./Xilinx_Unified_2022.1_0420_0327_Lin64.bin
Step 6. Follow the guide, you should finish installation of the tools.
Step 1. Install necessary package.
sudo apt install autoconf automake autotools-dev curl libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gawk build-essential bison flex texinfo gperf libtool patchutils bc zlib1g-dev libexpat-dev
Step 2. Download the open source code of RISC-V toolchain.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain
cd riscv-gnu-toolchain
Step 3. Set configuration and compile the toolchain, it will take some time. (Note that if errors like out of memory occur, modify to -j4 or less.)
./configure --prefix=/opt/riscv --with-arch=rv32i --with-abi=ilp32
sudo make -j8
Step 4. Add the toolchain to system path.
echo 'export PATH=/opt/riscv/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
