Unable to Run hdk_setup script on AMI 1.5

Hi,

Here is what I see when I source hdk_setup.sh:

$ source hdk_setup.sh

Vivado is installed here:

$ which vivado

Do you have enough disk space allocated for download of the developer kit? During hdk_setup, we download a DCP file and build memory models, therefore, you will need to have enough free disk?

What is the instance type and AWS region you are running in? I want to replicate exactly.

Thanks

Hi Kris,

Thank you for your response, I used to source it while using the SSH connection and without installing the GUI packages and I think that's what caused my problem.

I excluded the kernel from YUM updates and done the rest manually while ignoring the broken packages and I was able to source the HDK setup script after connecting through RDP.

Thank you for your Response, I am sharing the steps so it may help others:

Freezing the Kernel update:

 sudo vi /etc/yum.conf

add or append the following line: exclude=kernel*

then Execute the following commands:

 sudo yum update
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Server with GUI" --skip-broken
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
sudo yum -y install epel-release
sudo rpm -Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y xrdp tigervnc-server
sudo systemctl start xrdp
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl disable firewalld
sudo systemctl stop firewalld

and then

 sudo reboot

Hope this helps other people.

Thanks again
