In the 2023.1 release, only single SLR AMD Versal™
devices are supported with the AMD Vitis™
Export to Vivado Flow. The Vitis Export flow does not support hardware emulation
(-t=hw_emu
).
The v++
compiler operates on a Vivado project that has been encapsulated in an
extensible XSA built in Vivado. Conversely, the
block design of the VMA is imported into a project as a design source that the user
can continue to modify in Vivado.
In general, any modification to the Vivado project after
vitis::import_archive
that does not invalidate
the contract between the imported design and the .xclbin
metadata contained within the VMA is supported. The following table enumerates
supported and prohibited operations.
Supported operations include:
- Adding, removing, and reconfiguring IPs and RTL modules outside of and unconnected to the Vitis region hierarchy within the dynamic region block design.
- Add, removing, or changing connections unconnected to the Vitis region hierarchy within the dynamic region block design.
- Changing clock frequencies on clock wizard instances outside of the Vitis region hierarchy within the dynamic region block design.
- Changing QoS settings on
axi_noc
instances in the dynamic region block design. - Adding
.xdc
constraints associated with any part of the design, including within the Vitis region hierarchy within the dynamic region block design.
Prohibited operations include:
- Adding or deleting any IP instances or connections within the Vitis region hierarchy within the dynamic region block design.
- Adding or deleting connections between the dynamic region and the Vitis region hierarchy.
- Changes to the address map that modifies any address APERTURES or IP addressing in the Vitis region hierarchy within the dynamic region block design.
- Project changes that modify the netlist path to the Vitis region hierarchy within the dynamic region block design.
Current limitations of the Vitis Export flow include the following:
- The Vivado dynamic region
block design must be a block design container, and as a result, some base
platforms, e.g.,
vck190_base
, currently do not support the flow. - Supported for Versal platforms only.
