Description |
| Driving the AMD Vitis Unified IDE | Introduces the terminology and features of the Vitis Unified IDE and talks about the basic behaviors required to drive the Vitis Unified IDE to generate a C/C++ application. |
| Tool Flow for Heterogeneous Systems | Maps the various compute domains in the Versal architecture to the tools required and describes how to target them for final image assembly. |
| Development Using the v++ Command Line Tools | Illustrates the v++ command line tool flow for compiling AI Engine designs and HLS kernels and linking them for use on a target platform. Packaging a design to run software/hardware emulation is also covered. |
| Embedded Heterogeneous System Design Flow | Demonstrates the Vitis compiler flow to integrate a compiled AI Engine design graph (libadf.a) with additional kernels implemented in the PL region of the device (including HLS and RTL kernels) and linking them for use on a target platform. These compiled hardware functions can then be called from a host program running in the Arm® processor in the Versal device or on an external x86 processor. |

Description |
| Overview of the Versal Adative SoC Architecture | Provides an overview of the Versal architecture at a high level and describes the various engines in the Versal device, such as the Scalar Engines, Adaptable Engines, and Intelligent Engines. Also describes how the AI Engine in the Versal device meets many dynamic market needs. |
| Versal AI Engine Architecture | Introduces the architecture of the AI Engine and its components. |
| Versal AI Engine Memory and Data Movement | Describes the memory module architecture for the AI Engine and how memory can be accessed by the AI Engines in the AI Engine arrays. |
| Versal AI Engine Tool Flow | Reviews the Vitis tool flow for the AI Engine and demonstrates the full application acceleration flow for the Vitis platform. |
| Versal Adaptive SoC: Application Partitioning 1 | Covers what application partitioning is and how an application can be accelerated by using various compute engines in the Versal device. Also describes how different models of computation (sequential, concurrent, and functional) can be mapped to the Versal adaptive SoC. |
| The Programming Model: Single Kernel | Reviews the AI Engine kernel programming flow for programming and building a single kernel. Also illustrates the steps to create, compile, simulate, and debug a single kernel program using the Vitis IDE tool. |
| The Programming Model: Introduction to the Adaptive Data Flow (ADF) Graph | Provides the basics of the data flow graph model and graph input specifications for AI Engine programming. Also reviews graph input specifications, such as the number of platforms and ports. |
