Introduction

This is a short memo on how to install and uninstall Vivado ML on Linux.

Installation

As a prerequisite, a GUI environment is required.

  • Go to the following page and download the Linux version of Vivado ML Edition:

https://japan.xilinx.com/support/download.html

  • Move to the downloaded directory from the Linux side.
  • Grant execution permission and run the installer:
sudo chmod +x Xilinx_Unified_2019.2_1106_2127_Lin64.bin
sudo ./Xilinx_Unified_2019.2_1106_2127_Lin64.bin

In most cases, choosing Install Vitis will also install Vivado at the same time.

Previously, when I selected only Vivado, Vitis was not installed, so that choice mattered.

Uninstallation

Launch the uninstaller with the following command and proceed through the removal flow:

sudo /tools/Xilinx/.xinstall/Vitis_2019.2/xsetup -Uninstall
