With the AI Engine graph project open in the IDE, you can import the required
source files and configure your project.
- To import sources for your AI Engine
project, select the project in the Explorer view. Expand the folders, select the
src folder, and click the Import Sources command (
) to open
the dialog box shown in the following figure. 
Important: The key to this dialog box is to ensure the Into folder field points to the src folder of your graph project, as shown for theaie_graphproject.Use the Browse... command to navigate to the folder containing the source files for your AI Engine graph. Select the graph and header files required for your graph application, and click Finish.
- Import data files required for your graph application using a
similar process. Instead of the src
folder, import files into the data folder
of your AI Engine graph project. Tip: Data files can include input source files to exercise your graph or golden output data files for use in comparing the results of simulation.
- After importing source and data files, you need to define the
top-level of your graph. On the right side of the Project Editor window, click the
Click to select Graph File link to
open the File
Selection dialog box as shown in the following figure.
Navigate through the application project hierarchy, to the src folder and select the C/C++ code file
containing your graph application.
The project is now ready to build.
Tip: The
previous steps apply to both single kernel and multiple kernel programming. A
pipeline view is available in the Vitis IDE to
provide single kernel debug (see Pipeline View for Single Kernel Debug).
