Link
The v++ mode vss selects a link flow that creates a Vitis Subsystem (VSS) artifact. A VSS is a platform-independent, reusable design component that you can customize with AI Engine and PL content.
Using v++ --mode vss, you
package your design elements (for example, AI Engine graphs and PL kernels, and optionally PS domains)
into a subsystem that is intended to be integrated into a larger system using Vitis tools.
This flow does not generate a deployable hardware bitstream and instead produces a subsystem package with metadata and binaries for later system integration.
