ARIES: An Agile MLIR-Based Compilation Flow for Reconfigurable Devices with AI Engines (FPGA'25)

Installation Guide

Prerequisites

0. Install prerequisites on Ubuntu 20.04 (Since "sudo" is required, it is highly recommended to use a clean and isolated environment)

Install Python3.12 (See here if python3.12 is not found: Python3.12 Setup)

1. Download Aries & Submodules

2. Setup Python Virtual Environment

3. Build LLVM & MLIR Projects

4. Build MLIR-AIE Project

AIE License is required:

(1) please view the steps here: https://riallto.ai/prerequisites-aie-license.html
(2) Additionally, hostname can be found by running:

(3) After "Xilinx.lic" is generated, save it to the correct PATH (~/.Xilinx).

Need to specify using local cmake instead of Vitis cmake inside "utils/build-mlir-aie.sh" (In this script, it is set to the default PATH which should work if following the CMAKE installation before)

5. Build Aries Project

Run ARIES on VCK190

Follow the on-board execution flow in "example_new"
