Is there any open source tools/programs available for implementing machine learning algorithms like CNN on FPGA fabric?

I would recommend using high level synthesis for what you are trying to do. It is not open source, but for example Vivado HLS comes freely with the Vivado WebPACK. You can write your code in C/C++, generate the HDL code, co-simulate and optimize it all through the tool in a very short time.

I see that there are some projects for machine learning (e.g. hls4ml) which seem to be currently in development, but might be worth checking out.

  • Thank you so much for your response @zesen. The problems with HLS is that you don't know the quality of the generated code in the Verilog. Most often the level of control - like the multiple clock domain, asynchronous reset, pipelining with advanced controls - are lost in HLS style coding. The hls4ml provide better ways to fix (to help us use the right pragmas) the HLS c/c++ code but the problem still remains. – GSAT Aug 30 '18 at 18:01
