These clock and reset requirements apply to both software controllable and
non-software controllable kernels.
Table 1. Requirements
| C/C++/OpenCL
C Kernel |
RTL Kernel |
- C kernel does not require any input from user on clock ports
and reset ports. The HLS tool always generates RTL with
clock port
ap_clk and
reset port ap_rst_n.
- HLS kernels can only have one clock/reset.
|
- RTL kernels require at least one clock port, but a kernel can have
multiple clocks. The number of clocks that an RTL can have
is primarily determined by the number of clocks that the
platform supports. Most data center platforms only support
two clocks, but most embedded platforms can have multiple
clocks.
- An active-Low reset port can optionally be
associated with a clock through the ASSOCIATED_RESET
parameter on the clock.
