  • FPGA developer kit supports Xilinx SDx/Vivado 2018.3

    • We recommend developers upgrade to v1.4.8 to benefit from the new features, bug fixes, and optimizations. To upgrade, use Developer AMI v1.6.0 on AWS Marketplace. The Developer Kit scripts (hdk_setup.sh or sdaccel_setup.sh) will detect the tool version and update the environment based on requirements needed for Xilinx 2018.3 tools.

  • Ease of Use features:

    • Support for importing results into SDx GUI - By importing results from a script-based flow into SDx IDE, developers can leverage the tools for debug/profiling while keeping flexibility of the script-based flow
    • Vivado HLS developers can now import designs into SDAccel environment to leverage emulation, debug and run-time software

  • New functionality:

    • The following HLS Video Processing cores are now license free and come installed with Vivado (VPSS, Video Mixer, Video TPG, Frame Buffer WR/RD, Gamma LUT, Demosaic, VTC)
    • Improved XCLBIN utilities designed for automating the management of accelerator designs
    • Incremental compile reduces build times
    • Python bindings for AWS FPGA MGMT Tools

  • Fixed Issues

  • Deprecated Features

    • As announced in HDK 1.4.6 all EDMA driver code has been removed and deprecated from the developer kit.
      • AWS recommends using the XDMA driver for your applications.

  • Package versions used for validation
