Abstract
In this paper we describe a machine vision Neural Net al.gorithm implemented in a FPGA. The algorithm is trained on a hand written digit MNIST dataset. For Neural Net Intellectual Property generation it is used the hls4ml library, which is a really powerful tool for fast implementation of Neural Net on FPGA.
