Hi @Davix,

Instead of invoking Vivado from bin folder Can you try invoking from an external directory ? From external directory, source settings64.sh then invoke Vivado. For ex:-

source /tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2020.2/settings64.sh

vivado

When i installed Vitis 2020.2 there was no file settings64.sh so i manually updated the environment variable (PATH) but only for the bin folders of Vitis and not for Vivado. Now i uninstalled Vitis 2020.2 and installed Vitis 2020.1 which contains the settings64.sh file and now i don't have any problems in compiling and linkin kernels. Hence i think the problem was that the environment variables for Vivado were unset.

Thanks for your help.
