The next step is to down the the PetaLinux BSP from the Linux Prebuilt Images wiki page. The PetaLinux BSP will give you a pre-build image that will allow you to boot Linux and interact via a terminal to run some examples. Also included in the PetaLinux BSP is what is called an Out Of the Box (OOB) example that you can run a few demos via Jupyter Notes. Below are how to run each.

For the PetaLinux BSP Prebuilt image go to the xilinx-vck190-2020.2/prebuilt/images directory. There are 3 files to copy to the SD card.
Copy these files to the SD card. For the PetaLinux OOB you will have to format the SD card. r programming the SD card use the instructions on How to format SD card for SD boot page. (might what to update the page on extracting the rootfs on the partition directly). The files that you will need are in the xilinx-vck190-2020.2/prebuilt/linux/OOB_Images (change name?). The files are:
The SD card needs to be partitioned into 2 sections and the first 3 files go on the fat32 partition and the rootfs.cpio goes on the ext4 parition. Since this is a .cpio compressed file and un-compressing the file directly to the SD card is recommended. Once you have mounted the SD card and changed to that directory the command to un-compress the file is
You might need to do this with a sudo or sudo cpio -idv -V <path to file>/rootfs.cpio For either method once this is done put the SD card into the Versal uSD card slot in the Board Setup Diagram. |

Versal Example Designs
Listing and links to the many available example designs showcasing particular IP, Silicon features or tool flows targeting Versal ACAP devices.
Versal Targeted Reference Designs(TRDs)
Listing and links to the many available Targeted Reference Designs (TRDs) which are built to demonstrate various aspects of the Versal architecture and its functionality on the VCK190 evaluation board interfaces. From machine learning and video processing to integrated PCIe block and 100G Ethernet IP, TRDs are the fastest way to explore the capabilities of Versal devices.

The VCK190 prebuilt images are on the Linux Prebuilt Images wiki page.
PetaLinux Board Support Packages (BSP)
PetaLinux Board Support Packages (BSP) includes pre built images, a design and all the necessary instructions to rebuild the pre-built images from scratch. With PetaLinux, developers can have their Xilinx-based hardware booted and running within about 5 minutes after installation; ready for application, library and driver development. The base design that is include can be used as a starting point for hardware developers while the instructions on how to rebuild the Linux image can be used as a starting point by the embedded software engineering to create a custom Linux image. The PetaLinux BSP can be download Linux Prebuilt Images wiki page.
Board evaluation and management (BEAM) tool
...
The Xilinx tools provide all required tool chains to compile and link applications for Xilinx supported platforms, create and configure hardware designs, and create bitstreams.
