The rev0 build has a negative slack and fails timing while the rev1 build does not. During the Vitis compiler linker step, the rev0 and rev1 builds used different configuration files. A configuration file is used to specify more Vitis compiler options. The rev0 build used the config.ini file with no timing closure technique options. The rev1 build used the config_2regslice.ini file, which is similar to the config.ini but contains additional timing closure techniques. Both the *.ini files are located in Module_04_AI_Engine_and_PL_Integration/ folder. The next sections detail the config.ini file for the rev0 build, and then the changes made in the config_2regslice.ini for a successful rev1 build, which meets timing.
