Question

How to configure only the ARM without programming the bitstream in the adrv9029 no-os 2025.1 Vitis project?I want to program the bitstream through Vivado and observe the internal signals of the FPGA using ILA.

Hi JTHY, 
 As far as I understand, the issue is that make run always re-programs the bitstream, which is overwriting the one you loaded from Vivado. 
 There might be two possible solutions for this: 
 The simpler one would be to use Vitis directly instead of make run . In the debug configurations there is an option to uncheck "Program FPGA", which allows you to run the application as many times as you want without re-programming the bitstream. 
 For the other one, you could bypass make run and use XSCT to initialize the ARM and load your application after programming the bitstream from Vivado Hardware Manager. The files you need should already be in your build folder from the first make run . 
 Hope this helps for now, someone with more expertise will follow up soon. 
 Kind regards)
