 ## Vitis/Vivado setting up
 For the contest, the CVA6 processor will be implemented on Zybo Z7-20 board from Digilent. This board integrates a Zynq 7000 FPGA from Xilinx. 
-To do so, **Vitis 2020.1** environment from Xilinx needs to be installed.
+To do so, **Vitis 2024.1** environment from Xilinx needs to be installed.
 
 Furthermore, Digilent provides board files for each development board.
 
 These files ease the creation of new projects with automated configuration of several complicated components such as Zynq Processing System and memory interfaces.
