The following section is for Versal projects only and is not applicable to datacenter projects. As described in Managing the AI Engine Component in the Vitis Unified IDE, Adaptive data flow (ADF) graph applications targeting AI Engines can be developed as AI Engine components. These components can be built, simulated, analyzed, and debugged as a standalone component, and then added to a system project as part of an embedded system design, or for application acceleration in a data center. The creation of an AI Engine component is described in Managing the AI Engine Component in the Vitis Unified IDE.
The use of an AI Engine component in a larger system design can be accomplished from the command line as described in Building and Running the System in the Data Center Acceleration using Vitis (UG1700) , or in the Vitis unified IDE as described under Creating a System Project for Heterogeneous Computing.
