The top-level System project has several components such as the Application component that stores the host application and the HLS component that defines the PL kernels. The HLS components and AI Engine components can be grouped into binary containers and linked with a hardware link, similar to the existing Vitis IDE flow.
The following table provides a brief comparison of the concepts and terminology.
