export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xilinx/Vitis/2021.2/gnu/aarch32/lin/gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi/bin
export VIVADO_SETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2021.2/settings64.sh
make
The project may build also using Vivado 2019.1 2018.2 2017.4, 2017.2, 2016.4 or 2016.2. However 2021.2 is the current tested FPGA systhesis toolchain. In the v0.30 release we swithched to the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc hard-float toolchain.
If you want to use the former arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc soft-float toolchain included in SDK 2017.2. Following variables should be exported:
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xilinx/SDK/2017.2/gnu/arm/lin/bin
export VIVADO_SETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2017.4/settings64.shAnd you need to revert this patch: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/buildroot/commit/fea212afc7dc0ee530762a1921d9ae8180778ffa
If you receive an error similar to the following:
Starting SDK. This could take few seconds... timeout while establishing a connection with SDK
while executing
"error "timeout while establishing a connection with SDK""
(procedure "getsdkchan" line 108)
invoked from within
"getsdkchan"
(procedure "createhw" line 26)
invoked from within
"createhw {*}$args"
(procedure "::sdk::create_hw_project" line 3)
invoked from within
"sdk create_hw_project -name hw_0 -hwspec build/system_top.hdf"
(file "scripts/create_fsbl_project.tcl" line 5)
you may be able to work around it by preventing eclipse from using GTK3 for the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT). Prior to running make, also set the following environment variable:
export SWT_GTK3=0This problem seems to affect Ubuntu 16.04LTS only.
