dlhdl.Target class

Package: dlhdl

Configure interface to target board for workflow deployment

Since R2020b

Description

Use the dlhdl.Target object to create the interface to deploy the dlhdl.Workflow object to your target hardware.

Creation

hTarget = dlhdl.Target(Vendor) creates a target object that you pass on to dlhdl.Workflow to deploy your deep learning network to your target device.

hTarget = dlhdl.Target(Vendor,Name,Value) creates a target object that you pass on to dlhdl.Workflow, with additional properties specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

Vendor — Target board vendor name

'Xilinx' (default) | 'Intel' | "Xilinx" | "Intel"

Target device vendor name, specified as a character vector or string.

Example: 'Xilinx' or "Xilinx"

Properties

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Interface — Interface to connect to the target board

'JTAG' (default) | 'Ethernet' | 'File'

Name of the interface specified as a character vector.

Example: 'Interface','JTAG' creates a target configuration object with 'JTAG' as the interface to the target device.

IPAddress — IP address for the target device with Ethernet interface

'' (default)

IP address for the target device with the Ethernet interface specified as a character vector.

Example: 'IPAddress','192.168.1.101' creates a target configuration object with '192.168.1.101' as the target device IP address.

Username — SSH user name

'root' (default)

SSH user name specified as a character vector.

Example: 'Username','root' creates a target configuration object with 'root' as the SSH user name.

Password — SSH password

'root' | 'cyclonevsoc'

Password of the root user specified as a character vector. Use 'root' on the Xilinx^® SoC boards and 'cyclonevsoc' on the Intel^® SoC boards.

Example: 'Password','root' creates a target configuration object with 'root' as the SSH password for Xilinx SoC boards.

Example: 'Password','cyclonevsoc' creates a target configuration object with 'cyclonevsoc' as the SSH password for Intel SoC boards.

Port — SSH connection port number

22 (default)

SSH port number specified as an integer.

Example: 'Port',22 creates a target configuration object with 22 as the SSH port number.

Filename — Name of the deployment file

' ' (default)

Name of the deployment file specified as a string or character vector. When you do not specify the file name, the name of the bitstream is the file name.

Example: 'Filename','zcu102socinit" creates a 'zcu102soc_init.dln' file.

Methods

Public Methods

release	Release the connection to the target device
validateConnection	Validate SSH connection and deployed bitstream

Examples

Create Target Object That Has a JTAG interface

hTarget = dlhdl.Target('Xilinx','Interface','JTAG')
hTarget = 

  Target with properties:

       Vendor: 'Xilinx'
    Interface: JTAG

Create Target Object That Has an Ethernet Interface and Set IP Address

hTarget = dlhdl.Target('Xilinx','Interface','Ethernet','IPAddress','192.168.1.101')
hTarget = 

  Target with properties:

       Vendor: 'Xilinx'
    Interface: Ethernet
    IPAddress: '192.168.1.101'
     Username: 'root'
         Port: 22

Create Target Object That has a File Interface

hTarget = dlhdl.Target('Xilinx',Interface = 'File', Filename = 'zcu102socinit')

hTarget = 

  TargetFile with properties:

      Interface: File
           Path: './'
     FileHandle: -1
             CR: '←↵'
       Filename: 'zcu102socinit'
    IsConnected: 0
          hConn: []
         Vendor: 'Xilinx'
