Introduction
VPK180 is a Versal™ Premium series evaluation kit, equipped with the Versal™ Premium series VP1802 Adaptive SoC. It offers networked, power-optimized cores paired with multiple high-speed connectivity options. The kit is built for network and cloud applications requiring massive serial bandwidth, security, and compute density.
Getting Started
This section provides the prep-work, board setup and files needed to boot and run a couple of designs on the VPK180 board. You will need to download files and applications to interface to the boards, but will need no installation or knowledge of the AMD tools to run these on the VPK180.
For board setup and configuration, refer to the VPK180 Board User Guide, UG1582
Prep Work
You will need a terminal interface such as Tera Term or PuTTY to interface to the UART to boot the VPK180 board. Please download your choice before getting started.
The next step is to download the prebuilt images from the Linux Prebuilt Images wiki page. The PetaLinux BSP will provide a pre-build image that will allow you to boot Linux and interact via a terminal to run some examples.
Board Setup
Board setup is quick and easy, the following are the instructions and diagrams for setup.
Running a design
Use the instructions below to run the design that you have downloaded via the PetaLinux BSP for the VPK180 board, once you have prepared the SD card.

MRMAC Example Design
This section describes how to create the example design for MRMAC targeting VPK180.
The MRMAC Design Document explains the steps to create the MRMAC design and run the Software application in Vitis, after configuring the core with 4x25G Narrow mode, MAC+PCS+FEC, and GTM at 156.25 MHz.
Example Design and MRMAC Vitis SW have the example MRMAC design and the Software test application respectively.
DCMAC Example Design
This section describes how to create the example design for DCMAC targeting VPK180.
The DCMAC Design Document explains the steps to create and run the DCMAC design and run the Software application in Vitis, after dynamically configuring the core with Coupled MAC + PCS operating mode, MAC+PCS+FEC, and GTM at 156.25 MHz.
Example Design and DCMAC Vitis SW have the example DCMAC design and the Software test application respectively.
