AMD EDF Linux Operating System Integration and Development
AMD· 2025-11-03 17:01
Overview of AMD EDF Linux Integration and Development - The video demonstrates how to use a prebuilt Yocto Project framework to generate EDF Linux disk images and artifacts for AMD embedded devices [1] - It covers creating custom OS images, ranging from simple Linux builds to complex setups with hypervisors and containers [1] - The process includes setting up the Yocto Project environment, building single-stage and multi-stage EDF Linux disk images, and configuring a QEMU environment for emulation [2][3][4] Key Steps and Procedures - Configuring Git with username and email, and setting up the Yocto Project environment are essential initial steps [6][7] - The Repo tool is used to manage multiple Git repositories for EDF flows [5] - Generating a single-stage boot image for VEK280 involves running specific bitbake commands [11] - Generating a multi-stage boot image for VEK385 requires creating an OSPI binary image and a Common EDF Linux disk image [3][16][17] - QEMU can be used to simulate the generated OSPI and WIC images by merging the two images using the bundled qemuboot-tool [4][20][21] Customization and SDK - Customizing the SDK involves modifying the SDK recipe and building it using bitbake [25] - The resulting SDK install script is placed in the "tmp/deploy/sdk" directory [25] File Sizes and Verification - The bootbin file for VEK280 should be approximately 3 to 4 MB [13] - The edf-linux-disk-image .wic file should be approximately 9 to 10 GB [14] - The edf-versal-2ve-2vm-vek385-sdt-seg-.bin file for VEK385 should be approximately 270 MB [19]
Unified Selective Device Installer (USDI) -- AMD Vivado™ 2025.1

Key Features of Unified Selective Device Installer (USDI) - AMD Vivado 2025.1 introduces the Unified Selective Device Installer (USDI) for efficient FPGA and SoC design [1][3] - USDI allows users to download only necessary device files, streamlining installation and workflow [3] - USDI consolidates Vivado, Vitis, and related tools into a single installer with selective device file downloads [4] - The Filter Device section streamlines device selection by allowing users to search by device name or series [6] - Users can select specific devices within a series, further reducing download size and enabling tailored selection [8] Benefits of USDI - USDI reduces download size and disk space usage by up to 60% [4][11] - Installation times are faster, and valuable disk space is saved, improving setup efficiency and system performance [6] - Tailoring the install speeds up the process, optimizes storage, and saves bandwidth [5] Specific Device Support and Examples - Selective installation currently applies to AMD Versal devices, allowing users to choose specific parts [4] - Downloading all devices from the Versal AI Edge Series in AMD Vivado 2024.2 required approximately 83 GB download size and 212 GB disk space [5] - With USDI, selecting all devices from the Versal AI Edge Series reduces the download size to 22 GB and disk space to 77 GB, a 60% reduction in download size [5] Offline Installation - USDI allows users to select specific devices for offline installation by downloading an image from the Web Installer [9] - Users can select "Download Image (Install Separately)" from the web installer setup and choose the required Versal devices [10]
