@smitha-xilinx can you have someone take a look at this?

[OTremois]

The error on customer side seems to be in the aie compilation.
I tried on my side and compilation/simulation and visualization went fine.

Can we have more details on the AIE compilation error?

[Q-point]

The full log is below. It looks like the AIE is missing the config JSON file.
The error is due to missing files based on the logs.

Specifically:

" AIE Simulator config Json file missing, file: Work/config/scsim_config.json"

The environment is as below:

Vivado 2021.1

export SYSROOT=/home/dhq/Documents/Versal/xilinx-versal-common-v2021.1/ir/sysroots/cort$
export PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS=/home/dhq/Documents/Versal/xilinx_vck190_base_202110_1
export PERL=/usr/bin/perl
export EDGE_COMMON_SW=/home/dhq/Documents/Versal/xilinx-versal-common-v2021.1

Apart from that, I just issue make all under this directory.

Hi,

We can see at the end of the compilation the error:
ERROR: [aiecompiler 77-4170] Unable to find specified platform : /home/dhq/Documents/Versal/xilinx_vck190_base_202110_1/xilinx_vck190_base_202110_1/xilinx_vck190_base_202110_1.xpfm

The problem comes from the way you defined the PLATFORM_REPO_PATH variable. It should be:
export PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS=/home/dhq/Documents/Versal

This modification should solve the compilation stage, and the simulation should be able to run.

[Q-point]

Hi,

I can confirm that works. Thank you , closing this.
