The Radio-ML ConvNet Modulation Classifier design can be built for for hardware emulation using the Makefile as follows:

[shell]% cd <path-to-design>
[shell]% make all TARGET=hw_emu
[shell]% make run_emu -C vitis TARGET=hw_emu

This takes about 90 minutes to run. The build process generates a folder package containing all the files required for hardware emulation. Hardware emulation is then launched and run producing outputs shown below. An optional -g can be applied to the launch_hw_emu.sh command to launch Vivado waveform GUI to observe the top-level AXI signal ports in the design. This is done by editing vitis/Makefile run_emu target.
