Description

Hi,

I tried the bert_demo example, which should produce a bitstream that can be flashed to V80. However, I only found the Vivado project in the build directory. Is that an expected behavior? The bd of this project only contains user-defined IPs and some ports. I didn't see CIPS, clock wizard, and axi_noc instantiated, and running the implementation will fail.

Research direction

Start with the bert_demo example and reproduce the build using output set to "bitfile". Inspect the generated build directory, Vivado project, and block design to determine why the bitstream is absent and whether CIPS, clock wizard, and axi_noc should be instantiated. Done means the expected output and implementation inputs are produced, or the behavior is documented as expected.
