There are two types of configuration files for a Vitis system project:
CMake Files
There are two CMake files: CMakefileList.txt and UserConfig.cmake.
The parameters defined in CmakeList.txt are translated to
configuration settings to the compilers by CMake, a commonly used build utility. The
UserConfig.cmake is included by the
CMakeList.txt file. It provides the user interface to
modify the configurations for compilers, and supports both GUI mode and text editor
mode.
Note: Users are advised against direct
modification of the CMakeList.txt. Instead, it is
recommended for users to adjust compiler settings within the
UserConfig.cmake file.
Configuration Files
The new Vitis Unified IDE
provides a Config File
editor with GUI rendering for option selection with example syntax. The default view
is GUI rendering, but you can view the text form of the config file by clicking the
</> button to switch to the code view.
The code view can be used for manual entry of configuration commands, which can be
necessary in some circumstances. There are four configuration files used in the
system:
- HLS Configuration (hls_config.cfg)
- This is the configuration file for the HLS component to
drive synthesis of the C/C++ code into an RTL module. It can be used to
define properties of the design for synthesis, simulation, co-simulation,
and implementation. The hls_config.cfg
file is used by the
v++ -c --mode hlscommand in addition to thevitis-runcommand. - Hardware Link Configuration (hw_link/binary_containers_1-link.cfg)
- This is a configuration file for the System project and
defines build instructions for linking the system of components with the
platform. The hw_link/binary_containers_1-link.cfg configuration file is
used by the
v++ --linkcommand.
