Quick Recap

From the slides, "Vitis So Far":

  • Processors and PL offer different capabilities
  • Software must match specific hardware we built
  • Vivado exports that hardware description and Vitis builds a platform around it
  • Applications run on a selected processor and use the available hardware
  • Build, debug, and standalone boot are separate parts and milestones for a working Vitis project
