The difference in the PS application from Window Based AI Engine Kernels is that the input buffers and output buffers for different data types should be modified accordingly. Take a look at the code in sw/host.cpp. Note how float and complex type (for cint16) is used in the code.
// output memory
xrtBufferHandle out_bo3 = xrtBOAlloc(dhdl, mem_size, 0, /*BANK=*/0);
xrtBufferHandle out_bo4 = xrtBOAlloc(dhdl, mem_size, 0, /*BANK=*/0);
float *host_out3 = (float*)xrtBOMap(out_bo3);
std::complex<short> *host_out4 = (std::complex<short>*)xrtBOMap(out_bo4);
// input memory
xrtBufferHandle in_bo3 = xrtBOAlloc(dhdl, mem_size, 0, /*BANK=*/0);
xrtBufferHandle in_bo4 = xrtBOAlloc(dhdl, mem_size, 0, /*BANK=*/0);
float *host_in3 = (float*)xrtBOMap(in_bo3);
std::complex<short> *host_in4 = (std::complex<short>*)xrtBOMap(in_bo4);
Correspondingly, the pre-processing and post-processing of this data has been changed.
Run HW emulation with the following make command (it builds the HW system and host application).
make run_hw_emu
Hint: If the keyboard is accidentally hit and stops the system booting automatically, type boot at the Versal> prompt to resume the system booting.
After Linux has booted, run the following commands at the Linux prompt (this is only for HW cosim).
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
cd /mnt
export XILINX_XRT=/usr
export XCL_EMULATION_MODE=hw_emu
./host.exe a.xclbin
To exit QEMU press Ctrl+A, x
To run in hardware, first build the system and application using the following make command.
make package TARGET=hw
After Linux has booted, run the following commands at the Linux prompt.
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
cd /mnt
export XILINX_XRT=/usr
./host.exe a.xclbin
The host code is self-checking. It will check the correctness of output data. If the output data is correct, after the run has completed, it will print:
TEST PASSED
