UG1352: Get Moving with Alveo

This repository contains the source files for the exercises in UG1352: Get Moving With Alveo.

This repository majes use of Git submodules to pull in other repositories such as the Vitis Vision hardware accelerated library. To properly clone this repository be sure to include the --recurse-submodules command line switch.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Xilinx/Get_Moving_With_Alveo.git

This repository includes both hardware and software sources.

This repository has been validated against the Vitis Unified Development Environment release 2019.2 and has been hardware-validated against the following platforms:

Alveo Card	Platform	XRT
U200	xilinx_u200_xdma_201830_2	2.3.1302
U250	xilinx_u250_xdma_201830_2	2.3.1302

Building the Hardware Design

All hardware sources for this design are under the hw_src directory and can be built by running make. Before doing so, edit config.mk or override these values on the command line to point to your particular system:

# Options for TARGET: sw_emu, hw_emu and hw
TARGET ?= hw
# Options for DEVICE: u200, u250. Default platform is XDMA, defined by PLATFORM
DEVICE ?= u250
# If other some specific platforms needs to be used, provide platform path directly
PLATFORM ?= xilinx_$(DEVICE)_xdma_201830_2
# If your platform is not in the standard install area edit this line
PLATFORM_REPO_PATH ?= /opt/xilinx/platforms/

Then build the platform:

cd hw_src
make

Building the Software Design

All software for these references is built using CMake. For some examples we rely on external libraries, in particular OpenCV and OpenMP. If these libraries are not present on your system the dependent examples will not be built.

From the root directory of this archive, to build the software:

mkdir build
cd build

cmake ..

make -j

NOTE: This should be done after building hardware so that the .xclbin file exists

To run any of the resulting examples, execute them directly as per UG1352: Get Moving With Alveo. Note that some examples, specifically #7 and #8, require additional command line arguments. Running these examples with no command line arguments will print a help message with further instructions.
