The protected models are pre-compiled and released in the form of a shared library that is built for the respective simulator. This shared library is packaged as part of the AMD Vivado™ install and based on the design configuration these models are bonded during elaboration. The following two protected models are delivered as part of Vivado install:
- AI Engine
- Network on chip (NoC)
These models are in the form of shared library present in the following installation path:
<Vivado-install-path>/data/simmodels/<simulator>/<simulator_version>/<os_type>/<gcc_version>/systemc/protected
