If you want to edit the graph code, for example, to add or modify constraints, or explore the graph code by editing the kernel configuration parameters (like window size or window margin etc.), and re-compile. Vitis Model Composer generates a Makefile allowing you to easily accomplish this by running the following command.
make all
This command compiles an AI Engine graph
using the default aiecompiler
target and runs the
simulation using aiesimulator
. It also compares the
output of the simulator with the golden output. This command also launches the Vitis analyzer, based on the option selected in the Hub
block.
To do this, you need to source the settings64.csh
or
settings64.sh
from
<MODEL_COMPOSER_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY>/Model_Composer/<VERSION>
When the code is generated without the Create
testbench option checked, the aiesimulator
settings in the Makefile are as follows.
Default aiesimulator Settings
################################################################################
# aiesimulator settings
################################################################################
AIE_SIM := aiesimulator
AIE_SIM_TIMEOUT := 50000
AIE_OUTPUT_DIR := $(DATA_DIR)/aiesimulator_output
AIESIM_FLAGS := --profile
LAUNCH_VITIS_ANALYZER :=
Observe the Timeout value is 50000
which is
default and LAUNCH_VITIS_ANALYZER
is not set to
TRUE
. To run simulation for different timeout
values with the Vitis analyzer enabled, you
might need to manually edit the Makefile as follows.
Modified Settings
AIE_SIM_TIMEOUT := <Value>
LAUNCH_VITIS_ANALYZER := true
When the code is generated with the Create testbench option selected, and the simulator option is enabled, then the modifications done in the Vitis Model Composer Hub block for Simulation Timeout and Collect Data for Vitis Analyzer are automatically reflected in the Makefile.
