Tutorial

4. Expand the Resources section and all subsections, as shown in

Figure 2–2.

Figure 2–2. Resource Section of the C2H Build Report

The Resources section lists all the master ports on the hardware

accelerator. Each master port corresponds to a pointer dereference in the

source code. In this example, there are two master ports: one for

dereferencing the read pointer, *source_ptr, and one for dereferencing

the write pointer, *dest_ptr.
