To build a project and generate an executable, bitstream, and SD Card boot
image:
-
Right-click lab1 in the Project Explorer
and select Build Project from the context menu that appears.
The SDSoC™ system compiler stdout is directed to the Console
tab. The functions selected for hardware are compiled using Vivado®
HLS into IP blocks and integrated into a generated Vivado tools hardware system based on
the selected base platform. The system compiler then invokes Vivado synthesis, place and
route tools to build a bitstream, and invokes the ARM GNU compiler and linker to generate
an application ELF executable file.
-
In the SDx Project Settings window, under the
Reports tab, below the Project Explorer
tab, double-click to open the Data Motion Network Report.
This report shows the connections done by the SDx environment and the types of data
transfers for each function implemented in hardware. For details, see
Application Code Optimization.
-
Open the
lab1/Release/_sds/swstubs/mmult.cpp
file, to see how the SDx system compiler replaced the original
mmult
function with one named _p0_mmult_1_noasync that performs transfers to
and from the FPGA using cf_send_i and cf_wait functions.
The SDx system compiler also replaces calls to mmult with
_p0_mmult_1_noasync in
lab1/Release/_sds/swstubs/main.cpp. The SDx system compiler uses
these rewritten source files to build the ELF that accesses the hardware functions.
