Creating a Standalone Project

Create a new SDx™ project (lab6) for the ZC702 platform and Standalone OS using the design template for Matrix Multiplication and Addition.

To create a standalone project in the SDx IDE:

  1. Launch the SDx IDE.
  2. Select File > New > Xilinx SDx Project.
  3. Specify the name of the project (for example, lab6) in the Project name field. Click Next.
  4. From the Platform list, select zc702. Click Next.
  5. From the System Configuration drop-down list, select Standalone. Click Next.
  6. From the list of application templates, select Matrix Multiplication and Addition and click Finish.
  7. Click on the tab labeled lab6 to select the SDx Project Settings (if the tab is not visible, double click the project.sdx file in the Project Explorer) and in the HW functions panel, observe that the mmult and madd functions were marked as hardware functions when the project was created.
  8. If hardware functions were removed or not marked, you would click on the Add HW Functions icon to invoke the dialog box to specify hardware functions. Ctrl-click (press the Ctrl key and left click) on the mmult and madd functions to select them in the Matching Elements list. Click OK and observe that both functions have been added to the Hardware Functions list.
  9. In the Project Explorer right-click the project and select Build Project from the context menu that appears.
    SDx builds the project. A dialog box displaying the status of the build process appears.
