Description

The HLS Kernel to AIE block reformats a signal driven by a port of an HLS Kernel block so that the resulting signal matches the data type and complexity required by an AI Engine block.
Note: The inputs to the block must be real and the supported input data types are: int32, int64, x_sfix128, uint32, uint64, x_ufix128.

Topology



Parameters

AIE Input Type
Possible values are: int8, int16, int32, int64, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, cint16, cint32,float, cfloat
Output Size
The size of the output port. The output port is a variable sized signal whose maximum size is specified by the Output Size parameter. Default size is '1'. For example if the input is a vector of size 24, its datatype is uint64, and the output datatype is set to uint8, for each input sample, there will be 8 output samples. As such the Output Size should be set to 8x24=192 or larger.
