Building the user software applications to initialize and test the SoC hardware
The Vitis IDE is based on Eclipse – it inherits all the source code editing features and project management Eclipse is known for. Let’s explore the software project structure and how source code files can be added or removed from the project, for example:
- In the Vitis IDE Explorer window, expand the
src
folder under one of the projects, such asETS_SOC_CA9
– all the included sources will be listed. Double-click on thetestperiph.c
file to open it in the source code editor:

- The source file is now opened in the Vitis IDE as shown:

Specifying the linker script for the ETS SoC projects
Once we have all the source code in place, such as for the ETS SoC design test applications of the Cortex-A9...
