3.4. Estimating the Area of an Architecture
To estimate the FPGA resource usage (area) of an IP parameterization described by an architecture (.arch) file, use the --fanalyze-area option.
Option |
Description |
---|---|
--fanalyze-area | [Required] Enable the area estimator. |
--march | [Required] The architecture parameterization to assume. |
--fdump-area-report | [Optional] Path specifying an output file for the area estimate summary. |
The simplest command format for estimating the area of an FPGA AI Suite IP instance is as follows:
dla_compiler \ --fanalyze-area \ --march <path to .arch file>
Example Command
dla_compiler \ --fanalyze-area \ --march $COREDLA_ARCH/example_architectures/A10_Generic.arch
