Reverse engineering #Xilinx 's AI software isn't too hard, surprisingly. Every time a company say they are open sourcing something. There's a high chance of a core piece being a blob or an mess of code. Then kindly ask you to pay to have full access.
Anyway, Xilinx's AI lib have their interfacing API hidden in pre-compiled binaries. :-(. But I need to access the configurations to compare how well Xilinx is doing comparing to our design. So... I reversed a good portion of the library's C API and mapped out the function signature.
Do open source properly next time. Please.
