Introduction

This migration content is intended for users who need to migrate their accelerated Vitis™ technology application from one target platform to another. For example, moving an application from an Alveo™ U200 Data Center accelerator card, to an Alveo U280 card.

The following sections are included:

  • Design Migration: An overview of the Design Migration Process including the physical aspects of FPGA devices.
  • Migrating Releases: Any changes to the host code and design constraints if a new release is used.
  • Modifying Kernel Placement: Controlling kernel placements and DDR interface connections.
  • Address Timing: Timing issues in the new target platform which might require additional options to achieve performance.
