Tool for transforming python code to FPGA for Machine Learning

[TrickyDicky]

Is it possible to build a CNN on Matlab and transform it to vhdl code? Has anyone experience on this? Thanks...

Generating VHDL code from matlab requires the paid for HDL coder feature.

Maybe I can get help and use academic credentials, but does it work this way?

I am sorry I dont know - I have only used it in a commercial setting.

What should I change in this code:

in order to accelarate it on PYNQ-Z1??
