SDAccel Environment Release Notes, Installation, and Licensing GuideFind out about enhancements and changes to the SDAccel™ environment for each release.
SDAccel Environment User GuideProvides an overview of the SDAccel™ development environment, such as project creation, system build,
application debugging, and profiling and optimization. Describes the command-line use of the
tool, as well as the RTL kernel creation process.
SDAccel Environment Programmers GuideDescribes the requirements for writing a host application in the
SDAccel™ development environment, writing kernel
functions for acceleration on FPGAs, and managing interactions between the host application and
accelerated kernels.
SDAccel Environment Debugging GuideDiscusses performing software debugging of the host application and
accelerated kernel functions using the debug features in the SDAccel™ development environment. Discusses hardware debugging of accelerated
kernel functions running on the accelerator card. Also provides a review of debugging techniques
for specific problems.
SDAccel Environment Profiling and Optimization GuideLearn about profiling the host application and accelerated kernel
functions in the SDAccel™ development environment.
Describes different optimization techniques to improve application performance or reduce device
resources. Provides information about the host application, accelerated kernels functions, and
the interface between them.
SDx Command and Utility Reference GuideProvides a reference for the SDx™ command, and various utilities used in the Xilinx®
development environment. Describes the Xilinx
OpenCL™ Compiler Command Line Utility (XOCC) for compiling and linking the hardware accelerated kernels,
xbutil for installing and running accelerator cards, platforminfo for extracting information about referenced accelerator
cards, and the package_xo command for creating RTL
kernels.
Xilinx Runtime (XRT) Architecture DocumentationThe Runtime (XRT) Architecture documentation is available on the
Xilinx Github site at this link: https://xilinx.github.io/XRT
SDx Pragma Reference GuideProvides reference information detailing OpenCL™ attributes, SDS pragmas, and HLS pragmas for the SDAccel™ development environment. The OpenCL attributes and HLS pragmas can be used to optimize the
performance of the host code and accelerated kernels.
