Instructions from the Wiki: Building the image

• Build Instructions ```bash sudo apt-get install git build-essential fakeroot libncurses5-dev libssl-dev ccache sudo apt-get install dfu-util u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler libssl1.0-dev mtools sudo apt-get install bc python cpio zip unzip rsync file wget git clone --recursive https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plutosdr-fw.git cd plutosdr-fw export CROSSCOMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xilinx/SDK/2018.2/gnu/aarch32/lin/gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi/bin export VIVADOSETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2018.2/settings64.sh make

The project may build also using Vivado 2017.4, 2017.2, 2016.4 or 2016.2.
However 2018.2 is the current tested FPGA systhesis toolchain.
In the v0.30 release we swithched to the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc hard-float toolchain.

If you want to use the former arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc soft-float toolchain included in SDK 2017.2.
Following variables should be exported:
 ```bash
 export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-
 export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xilinx/SDK/2017.2/gnu/arm/lin/bin
 export VIVADO_SETTINGS=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2017.4/settings64.sh

And you need to revert this patch: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/buildroot/commit/fea212afc7dc0ee530762a1921d9ae8180778ffa

If you receive an error similar to the following:

 Starting SDK. This could take few seconds... timeout while establishing a connection with SDK
    while executing
