HCL LeNet5 example: synthesis error (over-consuming RAM18)

hecmay opened this issue · 0 comments

The HLS code generated for LetNet5 example can pass HLS, but it failed block-level synthesis in vpl with AWS F1 VU9P FPGA target. Here is the error message (not enough RAM18)

I am using the HLS code in the master repo: https://github.com/cornell-zhang/heterocl/blob/master/samples/lenet/vhls_code.cl. The HLS code seems to be directly generated from the HCL code, which is unoptimized.

I will insert and primitives into HCL code and try that again with AWS F1 target. Just opening this issue for bookkeeping purpose.
