4.2. Building the FPGA AI Suite Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Splitter Utility

The FPGA AI Suite AOT splitter utility is provided along with the example runtime component. The utility is built when you build the example runtime.

To build the AOT splitter utility:

Build the FPGA AI Suite example runtime with the following commands: 
cd $COREDLA_ROOT/runtime
rm -rf build_Release
./build_runtime.sh
When the build finishes, the AOT splitter utility command (dla_aot_splitter) is in the following directory: 
$COREDLA_ROOT/runtime/build_Release/dla_aot_splitter/

The dla_aot_splitter executable generated by building the example runtime remains the same regardless of any board- or device-specific options that you might specify. However, the files generated by the utility are specific to the FPGA device family and FPGA AI Suite architecture that you specify when compiling your inference model with the dla_compiler command.
