[Tip] Launching Vitis

[reteps]

Hi there, I was able to launch Vitis by swapping libgdk to version 3. It appears there is a known incompatibility if libgdk version 2 and JavaFX are loaded simultaneously.

So my full script is:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/user
export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0"
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dsun.java2d.xrender=false"
export JAVA_OPTS="-Dsun.java2d.xrender=false"
export DISPLAY="host.docker.internal:0"
/home/user/Xilinx/Vitis_HLS/*/settings64.sh
/home/user/Xilinx/Vitis_HLS/*/bin/vitis_hls

Note that I am using /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0 instead of /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

Nice! I have added libgtk2 because without preloading that Vivado crashes.

Are you also able to run the Vitis Unified IDE ?

[reteps]

I have not tried, but I assume no as it is not included in the installation package by default.

You can try to install it like You would on Linux otherwise (see the updated README). Make sure to install into the /home/user/Xilinx directory.

Has anyone have any luck with this? Vitis_hls is deprecated and Vitis Unified doesn't open but it also doesnt launch any errors or log so I dont have any way to debug.

I haven't considered running software other than Vivado yet, however, if You want to run other programs and see their errors, You'll have better luck launching them from the terminal.

I do launch them from the terminal... it creates a .jou and .log files which are helpful for this. sadly Vitis doesnt create anything :(
