All the tutorial design files are self-contained inside the reference-files directory.
This tutorial needs two kernel XCLBINs with different connectivities.
XCLBIN 1: All the AXI master ports are connected to DDR banks
XCLBIN 2: All the AXI master ports are connected to the host memory
Note and compare the kernel link configuration files for the above two cases. The kernel link configuration file is the only difference between the two kernel compilation flows. The top portion of the .cfg files (./src/link.cfg and ./src/link_hm.cfg) is the same where 15 CUs are named and placed in different SLRs. However, the bottom half of the .cfg files are different as shown below
The bottom half of the v++ link file ./src/link.cfg for DDR connected CUs

The Makefile is using ./src/link.cfg file by default. To build the DDR connected kernel XCLBIN simply do
make xclbin
Upon completion, you will get the XCLBIN file vadd.hw.run1.xclbin. The Makefile specifies LAB=run1 as the default flow.
Next, to change v++ configuration file simply run LAB=run2 as shown below:
make xclbin LAB=run2
Upon completion, you will get the XCLBIN file vadd.hw.run2.xclbin.
Once you have two XCLBINs ready you can simply focus on running the application for the rest of this tutorial.
