Description

This rule checks whether device monitors were inserted into a design.

Explanation

Vitis™ Runtime library collects profiling data on host applications and kernels. Capturing the data required for the Profile Summary requires a few steps prior to actually running the application. The FPGA binary (xclbin) file is configured for capturing profiling data by default. However, using the v++ --profile_kernel option during the linking process enables a greater level of detail in the profiling data captured. See Vitis Compiler Command for more information on the --profile_kernel option.

Solution

The user is missing the compile or link switches –profile_kernel to generate the debug IPs.
