Compilation Options

The CLI tools can be built using the installation instructions. It provides the following options:

Kernel Name

The -n or --name option provides control over the name of the top level kernel function generated to wrap the decls. The default kernel name is kernel.

Output file

The -o or --out option tells the compiler to place the output in a new file <out> instead of printing to STDOUT.

Backend

The -b or --backend allows changing the backend used for generating code. Support backends are:

1. vivado: Generates code compatible with Vivado HLS.
2. c++: Generate code that can be compiled into an executable.

run

The subcommand run requires the -o to be present. It automatically generates a C++ file and links it with the json data parser. See "Generating Executables" for more information.
