Connections between an output port of an AI Engine kernel and an input port of an HLS kernel use an AIE to HLS
Kernel block. Connections between an output port of an HLS kernel and an input port of
an AI Engine kernel use an HLS Kernel to AIE block.
These blocks reformat the data to match the data type of the sink port. In this process
no data (information) is lost; and it is simply adjusting the data type and the number
of samples. For example, an interface block can reformat a signal carrying 64 int8
values to a signal carrying 16 int32
values. Use of these blocks are not mandatory if the data types
between the HLS kernel block and the AI Engine blocks match.
These blocks are available in the AMD Toolbox/Utilites/Connectors library.
