Creating a Standalone Project and Implementing APM

Open the SDSoC environment and create a new SDSoC Project using any platform or operating system selection. Choose the Matrix Multiplication and Addition Template.

In the SDx Project Settings, check the option Insert AXI Performance Monitor. Enabling this option and building the project adds the APM IP core to your hardware system. The APM IP uses a small amount of resources in the programmable logic. SDSoC connects the APM to the hardware/software interface ports, which are the Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP), General Purpose Ports (GP) and High Performance Ports (HP).

Select the mmult and madd functions to be implemented in hardware. Clean and build the project using the SDDebug configuration, which is selected by default.
