Abstract(in English) Recently, a DNN (Deep Neural Network) is used in many areas, and it required a field of an embedded system. For an embedded systems, because its implementation may have severe restrictions on memory, speed, and real-time property. On the other hand, an FPGA can be configured a flexible logic circuit for specializing calculations. It can calculate faster than CPUs and lower power than GPUs. This study, we consider a DNN framework for an embedded system using an FPGA. Our framework has a generator for C language source code for high-level synthesis then configure FPGA using trained date generated by existent DNN framework. This paper, we describe a concept of the framework and the relationship between our study and related work.
