AI Engine event trace tools
provide an in-depth investigation into the operation and performance of a design. In
support of this, a number of settings are required to capture trace data at
run-time. In hardware, you must prepare the design when compiling the AI Engine graph application to ensure the libadf.a supports capturing trace data at run-time.
Event tracing in hardware builds begins with the aiecompiler command, using the --event-trace option. This option sets up the hardware device to
capture AI Engine run-time trace data.
The event trace flow consists of three parts:
- Event trace build flow.
- Running the design in hardware and capturing trace data at run-time.
- Viewing and analyzing the trace data using the Vitis IDE.
