+ * 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.

 Frequently Asked Questions
 ***********************
 
-.. note:: **This page is under construction.**
+Can't find the answer to your question here? Check `FINN GitHub Discussions <https://github.com/Xilinx/finn/discussions>`_.
 
-Can I install FINN out of the Docker container?
-===============================================
 
-We do not support out of the Docker implementations at the moment. This is due
-to the high complexity of the FINN project dependencies.

+    to the high complexity of the FINN project dependencies.
 
 Since FINN uses ONNX, can I compile any model from the ONNX Model Zoo to an FPGA accelerator?
-=============================================================================================
+    The short answer is no. FINN uses ONNX in a specific (non-standard) way, including custom layer
+    types and quantization annotations. Networks must be first quantized using Brevitas and exported
+    to FINN-ONNX to be converted to FPGA accelerators.

-Yes, though the effort required and quality of results will vary.
-Although we do support arbitrary
-precision, the way we create the hardware isn't typically practical for more than
-4 bits, or very large networks for a single FPGA.
-In terms of layers, only a subset of quantized layers covered by the various FINN examples
-are currently supported.
-It is possible to add support for new layers, though we don't have tutorials for this in place
-just yet.

-FINN isn't restricted to the example networks;
-rather, it's restricted to certain patterns (e.g. certain layer types and their combinations).
-The current best practice for custom networks is to take a working network and gradually modify it.

 What board do you recommend to start working with FINN?
-=======================================================
-
-Our preferred target platforms are those supported by  `PYNQ <http://www.pynq.io/board.html>`_.
-For those boards we can offer end-to-end (DNN-to-bitstream) deployment,
-see the `finn-examples <https://github.com/Xilinx/finn-examples>`_ repository for some examples.
-However, FINN also supports Vivado IP Integrator designs. The IPs connect using AXI stream (FIFO)
-in-and-out interfaces. This means that it can be integrated onto any Xilinx FPGA board,
-though you will have to do the system integration manually.

+
+FINN-generated builds break after I restart my computer, because ``/tmp`` gets wiped.
+    See https://github.com/Xilinx/finn/discussions/404
+
+How can I target an arbitrary Xilinx FPGA without PYNQ support?
+    See https://github.com/Xilinx/finn/discussions/387
+
+Why does FINN-generated architectures need FIFOs between layers?
+    See https://github.com/Xilinx/finn/discussions/383
+
+How do I tell FINN to utilize DSPs instead of LUTs for MAC operations in particular layers?
+    This is done with the ``resType="dsp"`` attribute on ``MatrixVectorActivation`` and ``Vector_Vector_Activate`` instances.
+    When using the ``build_dataflow`` system, this can be specified at a per layer basis by specifying it as part of one or more layers’
+    folding config (:py:mod:`finn.builder.build_dataflow_config.DataflowBuildConfig.folding_config_file`).
+    This is a good idea for layers with more weight/input act bits and high PE*SIMD.
+    See the `MobileNet-v1 build config for ZCU104 in finn-examples <https://github.com/Xilinx/finn-examples/blob/main/build/mobilenet-v1/folding_config/ZCU104_folding_config.json#L15>`_ for reference.
+
+
+How do I tell FINN to utilize a particular type of memory resource in particular layers?
+    This is done with the ``ram_style`` attribute. Check the particular ``HLSCustomOp`` attribute definition to see
+    which modes are supported (`example for MatrixVectorActivation <https://github.com/Xilinx/finn/blob/dev/src/finn/custom_op/fpgadataflow/matrixvectoractivation.py#L101>`_).
+    When using the ``build_dataflow`` system, this can be specified at a per layer basis by specifying it as part of one or more layers’

+
+Which data layout do FINN-generated accelerators use? Big-endian? Little-endian?
+    The data layout used by FINN does not correspond to system-level big or little endian due to difficulties in defining what
+    the “word size” is and bit packing for smaller datatypes. FINN’s “word size” is dependent on the parallelization of the
+    first/last layers. For instance, if the first HLS layer is using SIMD=3 this means the “innermost dimension” in the
+    data packing functions will be of size 3.
+    When you use the verification infrastructure or the generated PYNQ Python drivers that FINN provides, the tool normally
+    takes care of any required data layout conversion on standard numpy arrays before presenting the data to the accelerator,
+    and vice versa on the output side. Doing this data packing and layout conversion manually can be messy at the moment.
+    If you need to do this manually, first examine how the `FINN PYNQ Python drivers <https://github.com/Xilinx/finn-examples/blob/main/finn_examples/driver.py#L379>`_ do this – notice how the input data is
+    first reshaped to create the “folded input shape” that reflects the word size of the first layer based on how much it
+    was parallelized, then data packing is applied to obtain a raw byte array (with some reversals going on) that can be
+    fed directly to the hardware. Another example of this is the `npy_to_rtlsim_input <https://github.com/Xilinx/finn-base/blob/dev/src/finn/util/data_packing.py#L289>`_ function, which converts npy arrays to lists of Python arbitrary-precision integers that we feed into pyverilator for rtl simulation:
+
+Why does FIFO sizing take so long for my network? Is something wrong?
+    The automatic FIFO sizing in FINN can take quite long. It unfortunately doesn’t really parallelize on multiple cores since
+    it’s based on running an rtl simulation with lots of inputs and very large FIFOs, then observing the max occupancy/count
+    in each FIFO.
+
+What's a good starting point for the folding configuration if I want to make manual changes?
+    First, enable automatic folding options in ``build_dataflow`` such ``target_fps``. This should find a decent set of
+    folding factors and save them to ``output_folder/auto_folding_config.json`` which you can use as a basis for creating the desired config.

+# FINN Example FPGA Flow Using MNIST Numerals
+
+This example demonstrates how to bring a FINN compiled model into the Vivado FPGA design environment for integration into a larger FPGA application. It extends on the command-line [build_dataflow](https://github.com/Xilinx/finn/tree/master/src/finn/qnn-data/build_dataflow) using a model that was quantized with [Brevitas](https://github.com/Xilinx/brevitas) down to single-bit weight/ativation precision to classify hand-written numerals from the MNIST data set.
+
+If you are new to the command-line flow, more information can be found [here](https://finn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_line.html).
+
+This demo was created using Vivado 2020.1.
+
+## Compiling the Model in FINN
+
+#### Configuration
+`build.py` assembles the needed files and configures how the model is compiled when generating the "stitched IP".  The following items will need to be set appropriately for specific use cases:
+- `output_dir`: defines the directory to be created for FINN compiler output.
+- `target_fps`: desired throughput performance target for FINN compiler to achieve.
+- `mvau_wwidth_max`:  _an optional parameter_ ([described here](https://finn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source_code/finn.builder.html#finn.builder.build_dataflow_config.DataflowBuildConfig.mvau_wwidth_max)) shown only to illustrate passing additional configuration items to the compiler.
+- `folding_config_file`: an optional parameter to pass a json file defining the layer optimizations (PE,SIMD,ramstyle, etc.) to the compiler.
+- `synth_clk_period_ns`: set the desired clock period in nS.
+- `fpga_part` configures the IP for your target device that the stitched IP will be implemented in.  It should be the full string recognized in Vivado: \<device\>-\<package\>-\<temperature_grade\>-\<speed_grade\>
+- `generate_outputs`: for integration purposes, the only output needed is `STITCHED_IP`.  You might also find the `ESTIMATE_REPORTS` interesting.  Other options are documented [here](https://finn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_line.html#generated-outputs) and some of them (namely OOC_SYNTH, BITFILE) add substantial runtime and are not needed for this flow.
+- `stitched_ip_gen_dcp` : will generate an IP block with a synthesized design checkpoint (.dcp) which makes the design more portable across different machines, but will add some runtime.
+
+
+### Running FINN Compiler
+
+Prior to running, insure the following prerequisites have been met:
+- Install FINN and prerequisites.  The [Getting Started](https://finn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#quickstart) section of the FINN documentation might be helpful for this.
+- Ensure you have the `FINN_XILINX_PATH` and `FINN_XILINX_VERSION` env variables set appropriately for your install.  For example:
+> export FINN_XILINX_PATH=/opt/Xilinx
+> export FINN_XILINX_VERSION=2020.1
+- Set the env variable for your `finn` install top directory (where you cloned the FINN compiler repo):
+> export FINN_ROOT=/home/foo/finn
+
+Then, change to `finn` install directory and invoke the build as follows:
+> cd ${FINN_ROOT}
+> ./run-docker.sh build_custom ${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/
+
+Alternatively, since the tutorials folder is already part of the FINN compiler installation, you can invoke it from within the Docker container:
+> cd ${FINN_ROOT}
+> ./run-docker.sh
+> cd tutorials/fpga_flow
+> python build.py
+
+The build should finish in about 10 minutes, and the FINN docker will close on success.
+
+```
+   ...
+   Running step: step_create_stitched_ip [12/18]

+   Running step: step_synthesize_bitfile [15/18]
+   Running step: step_make_pynq_driver [16/18]
+   Running step: step_deployment_package [17/18]
+   Running step: custom_step_gen_tb_and_io [18/18]
+   Completed successfully
+   The program finished and will be restarted
+```
+
+
+### Examine the Stitched IP
+
+Navigate to the stitched IP project directory:
+
+> cd ${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/output_tfc_w0a1_fpga/stitched_ip
+
+And, open the project:
+
+> vivado finn_vivado_stitch_proj.xpr
+
+Explore the IPI board design and note the interfaces.
+
+
+### Simulating the Stitched IP with a Verilog Test Bench
+
+You may have noticed that the final build step invoked by FINN is `custom_step_gen_tb_and_io`.
+This custom step generates the files we'll need to simulate the FINN design in Vivado, and places
+them under `${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/output_tfc_w0a1_fpga/sim`. Let's examine these files.
+
+* `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.
+
+* `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.
+
+* `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.
+
+You can now launch the simulation as follows:
+
+> cd ${FINN_ROOT}/tutorials/fpga_flow/output_tfc_w0a1_fpga/sim
+> vivado -mode gui -source make_sim_proj.tcl
+
+The simulation should complete with:
+
+```
+ # run all
+CHK: Data    match 02 == 02   --> 0
+
+************************************************************
+  SIM COMPLETE
+  Validated 1 data points
+  Total error count: ====>  0  <====
+```
+
+You can also use the provided testbench skeleton and the custom step in `build.py` to build your own
+testbench generators.
+
+#### Instantiation in Mission Design
+
+There are any number of ways to bring the stitched IP into larger design.
+
+FINN already packages the stitched IP block design as a standalone IP-XACT component, which you can find under `${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. You should also set the
+`FINN_ROOT` environment variable to point to the compiler installation directory, as some of the build scripts will
+use this to access various components. 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.
