Installing HDK for Vivado v2018.3_AR73068_op (FPGA Dev AMI 1.6.1)

0

Hello,
I have launched a f1 x2large FPGA Developer AMI - 1.6.1-40257ab5-6688-4c95-97d1-e251a40fd1fc-ami-01d5f32a3d517960b.4 instance (in Community AMIs) and, based on https://github.com/aws/aws-fpga , the Developer Kit Version 1.4.8 - 1.4.15a should be compatible with FPGA Developer AMI Version v1.6.0-v1.6.X (Xilinx Vivado/SDx 2018.3).

By following the "Install the HDK and setup environment" section on https://github.com/aws/aws-fpga/tree/master/hdk , after cloning to the instance and executing source hdk_setup.sh, I got the following errors:
ERROR: Vivado v2018.3_AR73068_op (64-bit) is not supported by this HDK release.
ERROR: Supported versions are:
Vivado v2017.4 (64-bit)
.
. (the complete log is given at the end)
.
Vivado v2019.2_AR73068 (64-bit)

The first time, I updated the instance's kernel and then tried to install the HDK. I got a similar error (supported versions were longer).
The next time, I didn't update the kernel but, I got the same error. Also, I tried other releases (1.4.8 and 1.4.15) but again, I received the same error.

Are the above steps correct or am I missing something?

Thanks,
ajohnny

Hello,

It seems like the supported_vivado_versions.txt string is not updated in release 1.4.15a to include Vivado v2018.3_AR73068_op (64-bit)

I'll make that fix and release a new 1.4.15b tag.

In the meantime you can run hdk_setup on Dev AMI 1.6.1 by adding Vivado v2018.3_AR73068_op (64-bit) to the supported_vivado_versions.txt file in the dev kit clone.

I'll update here when we've released a fix.
