4. Known Issues and Workarounds

FPGA AI Suite Version 2024.3 has the following known issues:
  • When the input layout transform is enabled, the area estimates for some IP architectures can be too low.
  • Building the Arria® 10 SoC design example on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system requires Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10.
  • The area model reports the wrong DSP configuration with Agilex™ 5 architectures.

    The area model reports the DSP configuration being "Sum of 4 9x9" when it is a DSP tensor mode. This reporting results in a "PTC Import Warning" when you use a .ptc file generated from an Agilex 5 architecture.

  • The AGX7_Streaming_Ddrfree_Multilane architecture file does not have a pool aux module. This lack of the pool aux module can produce dla_compiler errors on graphs that require pooling, for example, ResNet18 and ResNet50.
  • If you use the hardware layout transform, then the max_feature_height parameter must be greater than or equal to the channel dimension of your graph. This limitation is due to a known issue with the parameter checks that causes the the input graph channel dimension to be compared against the max_feature_height instead of the max_channels value.

Streaming Flow Known Issues and Workarounds

  • Only single-output graphs are supported.
  • MobileNet-v2 is known to fail in the streaming flow when no external memory is used.

Multilane

  • The num_lanes parameter takes only the values 1, 2, or 4.
  • When an architecture has a num_lanes parameter value greater than 1, the architecture has the following restrictions:
    • All k_vector and c_vector parameter values in the architecture must be the same.
    • The softmax auxiliary module is not supported.
  • Multilane exhibits low performance when used with DDR when a graph has residual connections.
