ading xvc to kuiper

Thread Summary

The user inquires about adding the Xilinx Virtual Cable (XVC) to Kuiper Linux for remote debugging of Zynq UltraScale+ devices. The final answer suggests that while it's possible, it requires manual steps and recommends consulting the AMD/Xilinx community forums or ADI Kuiper Linux support for specific guidance. The source code for XVC is available on GitHub, and the user is advised to consider the ongoing transition away from PetaLinux support in meta-adi.

hi,

AMD/Xilinx provide a method to add the xilinx virtual cable to petalinux:

Designing an XVC project for Remote Debugging of Zynq UltraScale+ devices

in the case of the kuiper linux how i could add this app to the linux image?.

the source code for the XVC is available here:

GitHub - Xilinx/XilinxVirtualCable: Xilinx Virtual Cable (XVC) is a TCP/IP-based protocol that acts like a JTAG cable and provides a means to access and debug your FPGA or SoC design without using a physical cable. · GitHub 

but not sure if I have to add some more configuration (more than the device tree instantiation for example) since the petalinux add flag to enable this feature. 

regards

  • Hello,  

    Adding the XVC to Kuiper Linux should be possible, but it requires a few manual steps since Kuiper does not have the same automated build tools that PetaLinux does.

    That said, someone with hands-on experience with Kuiper Linux would be more able to give you an answer, particularly about whether there are any quirks or missing pieces specific to that distribution that are not obvious from the PetaLinux documentation.

    I would recommend reaching out to the AMD/Xilinx community forums or the ADI Kuiper Linux support channels, since someone there is likely to have already done this. The GitHub repository for the XVC source is a good starting point.

    One more important thing. Regarding adding this to meta-adi: PetaLinux support there is being phased out as AMD moves toward a standard Yocto workflow, so we'd need a strong case to justify new features in that direction. We're still working out what the path forward looks like for meta-adi after PetaLinux is close to end of life.
