Core Capabilities

A unified platform covering every stage of the ML-to-FPGA pipeline.

Dataset Management

Native support for MNIST, CIFAR-10, and custom CSV uploads. Integrated AI Dataset Agent recommends optimal preprocessing strategies.

Architecture Design

Define Baseline, Student, and QKeras architectures via GUI. Import pre-trained models. AI Architect designs board-optimized topologies.

Compression Suite

Pruning, Knowledge Distillation, QAT (TF-MOT & QKeras), Low-Rank Factorization, and fused KD+QAP pipelines.

HLS Conversion

Direct Keras-to-C++ conversion via hls4ml with control over precision, reuse factors, and implementation strategies.

Resource Estimation

Surrogate FPGA resource estimator (LUT, FF, DSP, BRAM) calibrated against Vivado/Vitis HLS synthesis results.

Hardware Synthesis

Build Agent bridges cloud dashboard with on-premise Xilinx tools. Auto-generated DMA/AXI-Stream wrappers for Zynq SoC.

Workflow

Seven steps from raw data to synthesizable FPGA firmware.

1

Load & Analyze

Upload dataset, AI recommends preprocessing

2

Design Architecture

Define model via GUI or AI Architect

3

Train Baseline

Float32 training with K-Fold CV

4

Optimize & Compress

Pruning, KD, QAT, SVD, or fused pipelines

5

Evaluate

Accuracy vs. Size vs. Params

6

Convert to HLS

Keras to C++ via hls4ml

7

Deploy

DMA wrappers + Build Agent

1

Load & Analyze

Upload your dataset. The AI Dataset Agent recommends preprocessing strategies.

2

Design Architecture

Define your model in Python, import .h5/.keras, or use the AI Architect.

3

Train Baseline

Float32 reference training with K-Fold CV and real-time metrics.

4

Optimize & Compress

Apply Pruning, KD, QAT, SVD, or run the automated Pipeline.

5

Evaluate

Compare models: Accuracy vs. Size vs. Parameters. Download PDF reports.

6

Convert to HLS

Estimate resources with the HLS Estimator. Convert to C++ and validate.

7

Deploy

Download with DMA wrappers, or launch automated synthesis via Build Agent.
