Building and testing

The build_hls.tcl script can create a HLS project and run csim, synthesis and cosim.

The Makefile has a rule to create the HLS code from the Dahlia and call Vitis HLS with the build_hls.tcl script.

make synthesis

The test bench writes the points into a csv file, this can be plotted using the python script in the same directory. It should give something like this.

python plot.py
