Please refer to out previous article Part 2 of the Additional Setup for the DE-25 before preceeding with the next steps. The goal of this article is to build a Zephyr RTOS application that will run in the Agilex™ 5 Simics Virtual Platform relevant to the DE-25 FPGA Dev Kit
Every Zephyr RTOS application has these key components in the same executable: the Zephyr Kernel, the Device Drivers, the Libraries and the Application Code. Here we will build the classical problem in computer science called the dining philosophers.
DigiKeyCoffeeCup@M1:/agilex5_zgsrd$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) DigiKeyCoffeeCup@M1:/agilex5_zgsrd$ cd zephyrproject/zephyr
At this point we are ready to build the Zephyr RTOS dining philosophers demo applcation for the Agilex™ 5 Simics Virtual Platform as follows,
(venv) DigiKeyCoffeeCup@M1:/agilex5_zgsrd/zephyrproject/zephyr/west build -b intel_socfpga_agilex5_socdk samples/philosophers/ -d agilex5 --pristine

At this point we have successfully built the dining philosophers Zephyr RTOS application for the Agilex™ 5 Simics Virtual Platform. In our next article we will continue with this Agilex™ 5 Simics Virtual Platform that will run the dining philosophers in Zephyr RTOS please stay tuned. The DE-25 FPGA Dev Kit is a powerful platform featuring an HPS/FPGA Agilex 5 (available as D-Series and E-Series depending on the case) capable of implementing Tensor AI slices,
that go beyond what traditional/classical old school DSP slices implemented in the past,
and it is available at DigiKey.
Have a wonderful day!
