  1. For the supported versions of third-party tools, see the Vitis Unified Software Platform Documentation: Application Acceleration Development (UG1393).
  2. The DPUCVDX8G is driven by instructions generated by the Vitis AI compiler. When the target neural network (NN) or DPUCVDX8G hardware architecture is changed, the related .xmodel file that contains DPUCVDX8G instructions must be regenerated with the updated arch.json file.
  3. The DPU does not support hw_emu function. The reasons are as follows:
    1. The RTL code of DPU is encrypted. Vitis does not analyze the source code.
    2. The DPU is a co-processor and requires a highly complex test environment for adequate design verification.
