The Vitis unified software platform is a new tool that combines all aspects of Xilinx software development into one unified environment.

The Vitis software platform supports both the Vitis embedded software development flow, for Xilinx Software Development Kit (SDK) users looking to move into the next generation technology, and the Vitis application acceleration development flow, for software developers looking to use the latest in Xilinx FPGA-based software acceleration. This content is primarily concerned with the application acceleration flow, and use of the Vitis core development kit and Xilinx Runtime (XRT).

Vitis is separate to the Vivado Design Suite, which is still supported for those who want to program using hardware code, but Vitis can also boost the productivity of hardware developers by packaging hardware modules as software-callable functions. The Vitis installer also installs Vivado.

Note: Vitis includes functionality that was previously available in Xilinx SDAccel and SDSoC. These products are no longer updated by Xilinx.
