Once the Linux command line displays, go to the /mnt/sd-mmcblk0p1 partition and you should see the files you packaged into the sd_card.img. From here run the functional test:
./ps_app.exe --timesteps 1
You can also review the run.log for the messages written by the host application.
Next profile and compare the execution times for the C++ N-Body Simulator running on the A72 processor vs. the AI Engine N-Body Simulator design.
Estimated Time: 2 minutes
./ps_app.exe --timesteps 1 --profile
The output on the console should be something like this:
Initializing ADF API...

Now run the executable to generate data to create the particle animation in the next module:
./ps_app_animate.exe --timesteps 300
Create data directory in Module_07_results/. Copy the animation_data.txt from the board to the Module_07_results/data/ folder if you want to create an animation out of it.
scp animation_data.txt <user>@<ip-address>:/<project-dir>/Module_07_results/data/.
