Acceleration Hardware¶
This section covers details about the HLS/RTL acceleration kernels. The kernels are HLS code that can be built using Vitis HLS and the compiled kernels are provided as .xo files. These compiled kernels then can be used with any Vitis platform.
Kernel Build Steps¶
The following steps are used to build the kernel.
Setup the Vitis HLS 2021.2 software. Refer to Vitis Software Development Platform 2021.2.
Edit the makefile to point the PLATFORM_FILE to any Vitis 2021.2 platform.
Edit the options in <kernel_folder>/kernel_config.h.
Make <kernel name>.
Multiscaler Kernel¶
VVAS releases the full HLS source code of the Multiscaler 2.0 IP, it is based on the descriptor approach for programming. This kernel produces a multiscaler kernel xo/v_multi_scaler.xo.
Kernel Configuration¶
The multiscaler kernel configuration can be edited by changing the <VVAS_SOURCES>/ivas-accel-hw/multiscaler/v_multi_scaler_config.h file. The parameters in the following table can be changed as required. i Table 14: Multiscaler Kernel Configuration

Steps to Build Kernel¶
Source the Vitis HLS 2021.2 software.
Edit the makefile to point the PLATFORM_FILE, (.xpfm) file, to any Vitis 2021.2 platform (tested using the ZCU104 base platform).
Edit the options in the multiscaler/v_multi_scaler_config.h.
Make v_multi_scaler.xo. The generated output will be in the xo folder as xo/ v_multi_scaler.xo.
