11.4.1.3. RTL Reset and Clock Signals

Resets and clocks of RTL modules are connected to the same clock and reset drivers as the rest of the HLS pipeline.

Because of the common clock and reset drivers, an RTL module runs in the same clock domain as the HLS component that is integrating the RTL module. The module reset input is asserted whenever the HLS component is reset.
