+ * Computes a checksum over a forwarded stream assumed to carry frames of
+ * N words further subdivided into K subwords.
+ *	- Subword slicing can be customized typically by using a lambda.
+ *	  The provided DefaultSubwordSlicer assumes an `ap_(u)int`-like word
+ *	  type with a member `width` and a range-based slicing operator. It
+ *	  further assumes a little-endian arrangement of subwords within words
+ *	  for the canonical subword stream order.
+ *	- Subwords wider than 23 bits are folded using bitwise XOR across
+ *	  slices of 23 bits starting from the LSB.
+ *	- The folded subword values are weighted according to their position
+ *	  in the stream relative to the start of frame by a periodic weight
+ *	  sequence 1, 2, 3, ...
+ *	- The weighted folded subword values are reduced to a checksum by an
+ *	  accumulation module 2^24.
+ *	- A checksum is emitted for each completed frame. It is the concatenation
+ *	  of an 8-bit (modulo 256) frame counter and the 24-bit frame checksum.

 If you want to add new dependencies (packages, repos) to FINN it's
 important to understand how we handle this in Docker.
-There are currently two Docker images used in FINN:
-
-* The finn.dev image, used for deploying and developing the FINN compiler. Details described below.
-* The finn.ci image, which is used for continuous integration testing. Almost identical to finn.dev image, key differences are no user setup and fewer packages installed (e.g. no Jupyter).
 
 The finn.dev image is built and launched as follows:
 
-1. run-docker.sh launches the build of the Docker image with `docker build`
+1. run-docker.sh launches fetch-repos.sh to checkout dependency git repos at correct commit hashes (unless ``FINN_SKIP_DEP_REPOS=1``)
 
-2. Docker image is built from docker/Dockerfile.finn_dev using the following steps:
+2. run-docker.sh launches the build of the Docker image with `docker build` (unless ``FINN_DOCKER_PREBUILT=1``). Docker image is built from docker/Dockerfile.finn using the following steps:
 
   * Base: PyTorch dev image
   * Set up apt dependencies: apt-get install a few packages for verilator and
   * Set up pip dependencies: Python packages FINN depends on are listed in requirements.txt, which is copied into the container and pip-installed. Some additional packages (such as Jupyter and Netron) are also installed.
-  * Do user setup: Switch to the same user running the container to avoid running as root.
-  * Clone dependency repos: These include Brevitas, finn-hlslib, finn-base, pyverilator and oh-my-xilinx. The correct commit version will be checked out by the entrypoint script.
   * Install XRT deps, if needed: For Vitis builds we need to install the extra dependencies for XRT. This is only triggered if the image is built with the INSTALL_XRT_DEPS=1 argument.
 
 3. Docker image is ready, run-docker.sh can now launch a container from this image with `docker run`. It sets up certain environment variables and volume mounts:
 
   * Vivado/Vitis is mounted from the host into the container (on the same path).
-  * The finn root folder is mounted under /workspace/finn. This allows modifying the source code on the host and testing inside the container.
+  * The finn root folder is mounted into the container (on the same path). This allows modifying the source code on the host and testing inside the container.
   * The build folder is mounted under /tmp/finn_dev_username (can be overridden by defining FINN_HOST_BUILD_DIR). This will be used for generated files. Mounting on the host allows easy examination of the generated files, and keeping the generated files after the container exits.
   * Various environment variables are set up for use inside the container. See the run-docker.sh script for a complete list.
 
 4. Entrypoint script (docker/finn_entrypoint.sh) upon launching container performs the following:
 
-  * Update and checkout the dependency repos at specified commits.
+  * Do `pip install` on the dependency git repos at specified commits.
   * Source Vivado settings64.sh from specified path to make vivado and vivado_hls available.
   * Download PYNQ board files into the finn root directory, unless they already exist.
   * Source Vitits settings64.sh if Vitis is mounted.
 
 5. Depending on the arguments to run-docker.sh a different application is launched. run-docker.sh notebook launches a Jupyter server for the tutorials, whereas run-docker.sh build_custom and run-docker.sh build_dataflow trigger a dataflow build (see documentation). Running without arguments yields an interactive shell. See run-docker.sh for other options.
 
+(Re-)launching builds outside of Docker
+======================================
+
+It is possible to launch builds for FINN-generated HLS IP and stitched-IP folders outside of the Docker container.
+This may be necessary for visual inspection of the generated designs inside the Vivado GUI, if you run into licensing
+issues during synthesis, or other environmental problems.
+Simply set the ``FINN_ROOT`` environment variable to the location where the FINN compiler is installed on the host
+computer, and you should be able to launch the various .tcl scripts or .xpr project files without using the FINN
+Docker container as well.

 Custom Quantization Annotations
 ===============================
 
-ONNX does not support datatypes smaller than 8-bit integers, whereas in FINN we are interested in smaller integers down to ternary and bipolar. To make this work, FINN uses the quantization_annotation field in ONNX to annotate tensors with their FINN DataType (:py:mod:`finn.core.datatype.DataType`) information. However, all tensors are expected to use single-precision floating point (float32) storage in FINN. This means we store even a 1-bit value as floating point for the purposes of representation. The FINN compiler flow is responsible for eventually producing a packed representation for the target hardware, where the 1-bit is actually stored as 1-bit.

-### Simulating the Stitched IP with a Verilog Test Bench
-
-The included `testbench.sv` is a very simple test to illustrate how to feed data to the compiled model.
-
-The image data is 784 bytes per frame, organized as 28x28 unsigned integer bytes.  However, due to the folding optimizations chosen, the input data is transfered to the hardware model 49 bytes at a time over 16 cycles.  Note how this matches PE=49 as selected for the first layer in `folding_config.json`
 
-Using the following image for coordinate reference where a byte is identified as B\<row\>\_\<column\> we see that B0_0 is the upper leftmost byte, and B27_27 is the lower right most byte:
-
-![Image coordinates: 0,0 is the upper left, and 27,27 is the lower right](numeral.png)
-
-Thus, the input data for the first cycle is organized as such:
-```
-  s_axis_0_tdata[391:0] = {B1_20,B1_19, ...  ,B1_0,B0_27, ...  ,B0_1,B0_0};
-```
+### Simulating the Stitched IP with a Verilog Test Bench
 
-The testbench reads data from a simple text file (data.hex).  The included script `gen_tb_data.py` creates the test data as well as the ground truth expectations (Note: using ground truth is undesirable if the intent is to validate that the HW implementation matches the trained model).  The script takes the liberty of flipping the byte-order such that verilog's `$readmemh` brings B0_0 nicely into the LSB position.
+You may have noticed that the final build step invoked by FINN is `custom_step_gen_tb_and_io`.
+This custom step generates the files we'll need to simulate the FINN design in Vivado, and places
+them under `${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/output_tfc_w0a1_fpga/sim`. Let's examine these files.
 
-To generate the test data, you'll need a Python environment with Keras installed since the Python script uses `keras.datasets` to access the MNIST data. Once you have this, you can generate the test data with the following.
+* `input.dat` and `expected_output.dat`: text files containing hex data for sample input and its expected
+   output. These are generated from the `input.npy` and `expected_output.npy` files by the FINN compiler.
+   Notice how the structure of the .dat files reflects the parallelization parameters of the first (for input)
+   and last (for output) layers of the hardware. The input is fed 49 bytes at a time, over 19 cycles to finish
+   a sample of 28x28=784 bytes from the MNIST dataset. Note how this matches PE=49 as selected for the first layer in `folding_config.json`. Additionally, note the reversal along each line in the .dat file to align the
+   byte order with what the FINN-generated hardware expects.
 
-> cd ${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/output_tfc_w0a1_fpga/stitched_ip
-> mkdir -p finn_vivado_stitch_proj.sim/sim_1/behav/xsim
-> python ../../gen_tb_data.py finn_vivado_stitch_proj.sim/sim_1/behav/xsim/data.hex
+* `finn_testbench.sv` : created by filling in a testbench template (under `templates/finn_testbench.template.sv`) with
+   relevant information by the FINN compiler, including the sizes of the input/output streams, folding factors and number of samples in the generated .dat file.
 
-If you'd like to, you can examine what the generated .hex file with the test data looks like:
+* `make_sim_proj.tcl` : created by filling in a TCL script template (under `templates/make_sim_proj.template.tcl`) by
+   the FINN compiler. Used for launching the testbench simulation.
 
-> less finn_vivado_stitch_proj.sim/sim_1/behav/xsim/data.hex
+You can now launch the simulation as follows:
 
-In Vivado, add the testbench as a simulation file by pasting the following into the Tcl Console:
-> add_files -fileset sim_1 -norecurse ../../testbench.sv
+> cd ${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/output_tfc_w0a1_fpga/sim
+> vivado -mode gui -source make_sim_proj.tcl
 
-
-Then, run the simulation (Flow Navigator -> Simulation -> Run Simulation).   Give the simulator a `run -all`  (click the "play" button in the simulator) to run the sim to its $finish conclusion.  With 20 test points run, it should have 1 mismatch due using the ground-truth as the check source:
+The simulation should complete with:
 
 ```
- ************************************************************
+ # run all
+CHK: Data    match 02 == 02   --> 0
+
+************************************************************
   SIM COMPLETE
-   Validated 20 data points
-   Total error count: ====>  1  <====
+  Validated 1 data points
+  Total error count: ====>  0  <====
 ```
 
-Note that this mismatch is due to the trained neural network not having perfect accuracy on the test dataset (i.e. the trained PyTorch model would have the same behavior).
+You can also use the provided testbench skeleton and the custom step in `build.py` to build your own
+testbench generators.
 
 #### Instantiation in Mission Design
 
@@ -115,4 +114,6 @@ There are any number of ways to bring the stitched IP into larger design.
 
 FINN already packages the stitched IP block design as a standalone IP-XACT component, which you can find under `${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/output_tfc_w0a1_fpga/stitched_ip/ip`. You can add this to the list of IP repos and use it in your own Vivado designs. A good reference for this is [UG1119](https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2020_1/ug1119-vivado-creating-packaging-ip-tutorial.pdf)
 
-Keep in mind that all of the User IP Repo's included in the Stitched IP project (from `$FINN_HOST_BUILD_DIR` which is normally located under `/tmp/finn_dev_<username>`) need to also be brought in as IP Repo's to any project using the stitched IP.  It would be prudent to copy those IP repos to an appropriate archive location. Alternatively, if you don't want to copy all of the dependencies, you can ask FINN to generate the IP-XACT component with a synthesized .dcp checkpoint by passing the [stitched_ip_gen_dcp=True](https://finn-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source_code/finn.builder.html#finn.builder.build_dataflow_config.DataflowBuildConfig.stitched_ip_gen_dcp) option as part of the build configuration.
