New Features and Changes - 2023.1 English

This version of Xilinx Runtime includes the following new features.

XRT API

• New xrt::xclbin::get_interface_uuid() API. The interface uuid is only available for xclbins that are built with the 2023.1 version of AMD Vitis™ software platform.

  Before downloading, the host application can use this API to check and compare the uuid against the xclbin file and hardware.

• New xrt::run::wait2() API was added to throw an exception when command completes abnormally (state different from ERT_CMD_STATE_COMPLETED).

Utilities

• New clock throttling management feature from xbmgmt utility. Clock throttling reduces the kernel clock frequency dynamically when either thermal or electrical sensors exceed defined threshold values.

Other Changes

• xrt::kernel::write_register() is deprecated, along with the corresponding read_register. If used, a compile warning is issued. It is recommended that xrt::ip is used for read and write register functionality. This API will be removed in a future release.
• This the last release with XCL APIs support. The APIs were deprecated in 2.14.x, and 2.15.x will be the last release with support.
