Release Migration - 2023.2 English

Vitis Unified Software Platform Documentation: Application Acceleration Development (UG1393)

Document ID
UG1393
Release Date

Version
2023.2 English

After migrating the host code, build the code on the existing target platform using the new release of the Vitis technology. Verify that you can run the project in the Vitis unified software platform using the new release, ensure it completes successfully, and meets the timing requirements.

Issues which can occur when using a new release are:

  • Changes to C libraries or library files.
  • Changes to kernel path names.
  • Changes to the HLS pragmas or pragma options embedded in the kernel code.
  • Changes to C/C++/OpenCL compiler support.
  • Changes to the performance of kernels: this might require adjustments to the pragmas in the existing kernel code.

Address these issues using the same techniques you would use during the development of any kernel. At this stage, ensure the throughput performance of the target platform using the new release meets your requirements. If there are changes to the final timing (the maximum clock frequency), you can address these when you have moved to the new target platform. This is covered in Address Timing.
