Output Directories from the Vitis IDE - 2022.1 English

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

Document ID
UG1393
Release Date
2022-05-25
Version
2022.1 English

The following example shows the directory structure automatically generated by the Vitis IDE for a sample application acceleration project which includes:

  • Top-level system project
  • Host application project
  • Hardware kernel compilation project
  • Hardware kernel linking project

The default directory structure of the Vitis IDE is similar but not identical to that created by the command-line flow.
