Development Tools

Use the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite to integrate DPU into your own project. Vivado Design Suite 2018.2

or later version is recommended. Previous versions of Vivado can also be supported. For requests,

contact your sales representative.

Device Resources

The DPU logic resource is optimized and scalable across Xilinx Ult MPSoC and Zynq-7000

devices. For the detailed resource utilization, refer to Chapter 3: DPU Configuration.

How to Run DPU

The DPU operation depends on the driver which is included in the Xilinx Deep Neural Network

Development Kit (DNNDK) toolchain.
You can download the free developer resources from the Xilinx website:

https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/ai-inference/ai-developer-hub.html#edge

Refer to the

DNNDK User Guide

(

UG1327

) to obtain an essential guide on how to run a DPU with

DNNDK tools. The basic development flow is shown in the following figure. First, use Vivado to

generate the bitstream. Then, download the bitstream to the target board and install the DPU driver.

For instructions on how to install the DPU driver and dependent libraries, refer to the
