Vitis Binary Container Settings - 2020.2 English

To edit the settings for a binary container,expand the build target for the hw_link project in the Assistant view, select the binary_container, and click the Settings button (). This displays the Binary Container Settings dialog box as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1. Binary Container Settings

This dialog box lets you specify a new name for the binary container, and to specify link options for the v++ command. Specific options include:

Name

Specify the name of the binary container.

Trace Memory

Specify the type and amount of memory to use for storing event trace data for profiling the application. This relates to the --trace_memory option of the Vitis compiler.

V++ Linker Options

Enter link options for the selected binary container, in the specified build configuration. For more information on the available options, refer to Vitis Compiler Command.

Compute Units

Specify the number of kernels to add to the device binary as explained in --connectivity Options. The field can be edited, and when you have entered the value, additional kernels will be displayed in the dialog box.

Memory

Specify global memory assignments for each port of a compute unit as discussed in Mapping Kernel Ports to Memory.

SLR

Define the SLR placement for each compute unit of the kernel as discussed in Assigning Compute Units to SLRs.

ChipScope Debug

Add monitors to capture hardware trace debug information. This specifies the --debug.chipscope option.

Protocol Checker

Add AXI Protocol Checker to your design. This relates to the --debug.protocol option.

Data Transfer

Add performance monitors to capture information related to data transferred between compute unit and global memory. Captured data includes counters, trace, or both. This relates to the --profile.data option, and to xrt.ini file settings as explained in Enabling Profiling in Your Application.

Execute Profiling

Add an accelerator monitor to capture the start and end of compute unit executions. This relates to the --profile.exec option.

Stall Profiling

Add an accelerator monitor with functionality to capture stalls in the flow of data inside a kernel, between two kernels, or between the kernel and external memory. This relates to the --profile.stall option.

V++ Linker Command Line

Displays the current v++ command line with any link options you have specified.
