Running this on FPGA

[Thilanka97]

Hey, I am trying to optimize YOLOv3 architecture on fpga. I am planning to use a existing opencl implementation of yolov3 for this as a reference. I would like to know if I will be able to run this openCL implementation on FPGA ? If not what changes do I need to make ?

It would be a great help if you could give me your ideas.
Thanks in advance !

@Thilanka97 ,no I just run it on some intel cpu and nvidia GPU.

@Thilanka97 ,actually, the changes depend on your OpenCL implementation, maybe you can pass without any changes, or met kernel compile error. You can rewrite the kernel code as well.

@ganyc717 Thank you so much for your reply. I will try to pass the existing code first and see.

@ganyc717 I tried compiling one of the kernel codes on AOC it creats the .aocx file without any errors. Also I have the make file I got after building the project. What should I run next ? I mean There is no one .cpp host file (there are many). How should I run this on my device ? Please guide me.

I would be so grateful if you could help me with this.

Thanks in advance!

@ganyc717 I mean since there is no main.cpp, how are we gonna run the host code ? Please guide me.

Thanks in advance!

The main function is in example/darknet.cpp, you can refer to the darknet usage
