Launching the RTL Kernel Wizard

The RTL Kernel Wizard can be launched with two different methods: from the SDx™ Development Environment or from the Vivado® IDE. The SDx Development Environment provides a more seemless experience by automatically importing the generated kernel/example host code back into the SDx project.

To launch the RTL Kernel Wizard from the SDx Development Environment, do the following:

  1. Launch the SDx Development Environment.
  2. Create an SDx Project (Application Project Type).
  3. Click Xilinx > RTL Kernel Wizard.

To launch the RTL Kernel Wizard from Vivado IDE, do the following:

  1. Create a new Vivado project choosing the same device as exists on the platform you intend to target. If you do not know your target device, choose the default part.
  2. Go to the IP catalog by clicking the IP Catalog button.
  3. Type wizard in the IP Catalog search box.
  4. Double-click SDx Kernel Wizard to launch the wizard.
Note: Use Vivado from the SDx install so the tool versions are the same.
