Description
Summary:In this paper, a new approach to facilitate the development of heterogeneous embedded vision systems, by means of a software-friendly design flow is proposed. Our work is based on a framework called AMAZynq, especially focused on leverage the resources of Xilinx Zynq devices. Starting from an OpenCV code, the user defines explicitly the HW/SW partition and the AMAZynq produces the corresponding hardware and software infrastructures. The result is a SoC that not only matches the original functionality, but also accelerates it by means of an automatically generated and verified HLS core.
