Rotation Kernel

Setup

Pre-requisites

• Vitis 2023.1
• (probably Ubuntu 22.04)
• XRT library 2023.1
• Xilinx u200 board Deployment Target Platform
• Xilinx u200 board Development Target Platform
• see this link to download the last three files

First time setup

• mkdir build
• cp Makefile build/
• cp hlsProject/tb_data/tb_input_features_raw.dat build/inputs.dat

On every terminal

• source {Vitis}/2023.1/settings64.sh
• source /opt/xilinx/xrt/setup.sh

Every change

• run make (or do step by step)
  • make host
  • make compile
  • make link
    • make clean deletes all compiled files
    • make all cleans all main files
• run source export.sh to get XCL_EMULATION_MODE=(mode) (if EMU_MODE was changed)
• run ./host.exe TrackClassification.xclbin

Settings to change when adjusting

• in the Makefile you can edit various things to add/change
  • HLS_NAME changes name of kernel and output files
    • if changing, also have to change config.cfg file
  • PART should be set to the platform that you installed (from .deb/.rpm)
    • (currently only works for Data Center cards, not Embedded (requires --sysroot etc))
  • most important EMU_MODE whenever you want to change emulation/hw mode change this between
    • sw_emu, hw_emu, and hw
  • .
  • HOST_SRC to add/remove source files for host (.cpp files)
  • NN_SRC to add/remove source files for NN kernel (.cpp files)
  • ROTATION_SRC to add/remove source files for rotation kernel (.cpp files)
