Error creating Vivado project with TE0803 StarterKit

[RichardH]

Hi
I am starting a project using a TE0803 SoM with an Ultrascale + Zu4, along with a TEBF0808 baseboard. I am using Vivado & Vitis versions 2020.2 on a linux machine (Xubuntu)

I have downloaded the Starter Kit example for Vivado 2020.2.
I run the the _create_linux_setup.sh script, point it to where vivado is installed, select my board (ID 22) and select the "Create vivado project" option.

The scripts create the project and start up Vivado, but I get an error: "ERROR: [Vivado 12-106] *** Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"

It also generates a debug file with the following:

Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi,
this looks like an problem with Vivado and your OS.

XUbuntu is not supported by Vivado, see:

Maybe you try to generate it on VM with an supported OS.
