1. Build and test the design - 2024.2 English

To build and test the design on Linux platform, make sure that your XILINX_VITIS and XILINX_XRT environment variables are set up correctly and point to the corresponding Vitis 2022.2 locations. Once your environment is set up properly, navigate to the L2/tests/csmv directory and follow the steps below to run emulation and launch accelerator on Alveo U280.

• To run software emulation, enter the following commands. Replace the $XILINX_VITIS with your Vitis 2022.2 installation location. The software emulation treats each CU as a dataflow module, and uses a wrapper called cscmvSeqKernel as the top module to run the software emulation process. This is purely used for C++ level functionality test.
