Custom CL Build Strategy

Hi,

The AWS Manifest file does not contain any build strategy information. For AFI generation, you will only need to upload a tarball that contains the final DCP and a manifest file.

The build strategies (DEFAULT/BASIC/EXPLORE/TIMING/CONGESTION) provided in AWS build scripts are for convenience only. Customer may choose to build CL designs using different strategies, or modify the AWS build scripts with directives supported by Vivado. As long as your CL design adheres to Shell Interface Specification, (https://github.com/aws/aws-fpga/blob/master/hdk/docs/AWS_Shell_Interface_Specification.md#aws-shell-interface-specification) the AFI generation should be successful.

Please feel free to contact us if you run into any issues.

Thanks!
