That's not entirely necessary - if you look in the
developer.petalogix.com documentation, there is a page under "Advanced
topics" called non-standard installations.  It provides some notes for
how you can use a Xilinx-on-Windows / PetaLinux-on-Linux working
environment.

It's certainly doable, but not recommend until you have a good
understanding of the linkages between the HW and SW flows (as Michal
was describing).

Regards,

John
