• Petalinux-Vivado-2020.1
• Petalinux-Vivado-2020.2
• Petalinux-Vivado-2022.1
• Petalinux-Vivado-2022.2
• Petalinux-Vivado-2023.1
• Petalinux-Vivado-2024.1

!!! Check out a tagged version in order to build!!!

Requirements

Have docker installed.

Make sure to have:

• A downloaded FPGAs_AdaptiveSoCs_Unified_*_Lin64.bin
• A downloaded petalinux-*-installer.run from https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools/archive.html
• A xilinx account is needed to install the packages (usually free), and to provide the credentials

Preparation

!!! Prepare Xilinx login credentials, append the following variables !!!

Provide Xilinx Vivado installer, Petalinux installer and credentials. Download the installer from the official page.

$ mkdir ./download
$ cp <Downloads>/FPGAs_AdaptiveSoCs_Unified_*_Lin64.bin ./download
$ cp <Downloads>/petalinux-*-installer.run ./download
$ echo "export UID=$(id -u)" > ./download/env
$ echo "export GID=$(id -g)" >> ./download/env
$ vi ./download/env
    ...
    export XILINXMAIL='<my email>'
    export XILINXLOGIN='<my xilinx password>'

NB: XILINXMAIL and XILINXLOGIN are only needed for container creation. They are not stored inside the container. The entries can be removed from the env file after installation! The env is not tracked by git.

Example:

$ tree -a ./download/
    ./download/
    ├── env
    ├── petalinux-v20*-installer.run
    └── FPGAs_AdaptiveSoCs_Unified_20*_Lin64.bin

    0 directories, 3 files

$ cat ./download/env
    export UID=105601750
    export GID=105600513
    export [email protected]
    export XILINXLOGIN='password123'

After building the image, the folder download can be removed. The installer files will be in the respective build_context folders and can be equally removed.

Build

$ source ./download/env
$ ./setup.sh

First usage will end, w/o giving a prompt. It should display a message, though.

$ ./setup.sh
<prepares workspace folder>

Usage

$ ./setup.sh
docker$  vivado &
