- Go to File - Export - Export Hardware, in the pop up window, select Fixed, then click next. select Include bitstream, then click next. You shouldn't need to change the name of the xsa file, but if you do make sure to update that in your Vitis platform project or linux boot drive. Finally, click finish.

- Then similarly, go to File - Export - Export Bitstream File, in the pop yp window, navigate to the /petalinux/hw/ folder, name the bitstream file(usually same as the xsa file), then click save.
