Installing a CentOS or Fedora system for Zynq UltraScale+ is currently a proof-of-concept (POC). You should not assume this builds a Xilinx supported, production-ready system. Please do your due diligence before deploying CentOS or Fedora and regression test against your system requirements. |
While this flow targets CentOS and Fedora because they are close relatives, this flow can be extended to support Ubuntu, Debian and openSUSE.
Requirements
Linux VM or bare-metal machine
Sudo privileges
Terminal emulator
Internet access
ZCU102 evaluation board
8 GB (minimum)/16 GB (recommended) SD card
