The AI Engine design may be validated in functional simulation using either the X86 or AIE simulators. To use the X86 simulator to compile, simulate, then validate the outputs of the simulation, use the following approach:
[shell]% cd <path-to-design>/aie_src
[shell]% make x86_compile
[shell]% make x86_sim
[shell]% make x86_check_op
To use the AIE simulator to do the same things plus validate the design I/O throughput as measured from simulated PLIO timestamps, use the following approach:
[shell]% cd <path-to-design>/aie_src
[shell]% make aie_compile
[shell]% make aie_sim
[shell]% make aie_check_op
[shell]% make aie_get_tp
