There are also a few I found just by resolving errors thrown by Vivado and Vitis to the command line while using their respective GUIs. I was able to find list of package dependencies for PetaLinux here, which are also included in my list below.

I comprised this exhaustive list after much trial and error because I found that there wasn't a clear distinct list of the package dependencies for Vivado/Vitis. The list I've comprised includes everything required from a completely fresh/clean installation of Ubuntu 18.04.5. The next step is to install all of the required package dependencies for the Xilinx tools. Since there is a 99.999% chance your computer has an Intel based processor, add i386 using the package management system, dpkg: ~$ sudo dpkg -add-architecture i386Ĭhange Ubuntu's shell from dash to bash as PetaLinux is only compatible with bash: ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash Therefore the first step is to add the 32-bit architecture to your Ubuntu system. DocNav requires several 32-bit libraries and PetaLinux needs 32-bit architectures for cross compilation. I've found you should have at least 300GB of free space available to install all of the Xilinx tools and 32GB - 64GB of RAM with at least 8 CPU cores you can dedicate to them.Īll of the Xilinx tools require 32-bit libraries at some point in time to compile. After finding a few gaps in the required package dependencies mentioned anywhere, I decided it was time to write this up again since the last time was for version 2019.2. Over the last couple of months I started migrating to the 2021 versions of the Xilinx tools, and specifically this past week I installed 2021.2. It is for this reason that I'm always working on staying up to date and creating new install guides to fill in where I find gaps because there are definitely overall flow changes that occur with pretty much every new release. I don't hide the fact that I'm a big fan of the Xilinx toolset, but I understand that installing them and getting started can be quite the task for a beginner.
