+# Intel AI Suite Core DLA 'AoT Splitter'
+
+This tool is intended to split a compiled HETERO:FPGA OpenVINO model into Input memory, Config memory, and Filter memory data blobs that would normally exist in the DDR memory of a runtime CoreDLA IP. These blobs can be used to directly run an inference on the IP without using OpenVINO InferenceEngine.
+
+# How to Build the Splitter, Plugin, and Example
+
+First, follow all instructions to install CoreDLA compiler development environment
+
+Change directory to the dla runtime folder
+
+```
+sh build_runtime.sh -target_de10_agilex
+```
+
+# How to Run the Splitter Executable
+
+The executable outputs the memory blobs to the current working directory. Change directory to the location where you want the outputs to be generated
+
+```
+cd directory_where_you_want_output
+
+runtime/build_Release/dla_aot_splitter/dla_aot_splitter -cm compiled_hetero_fpga_model.bin -i path/to/image.bmp -bgr -plugins runtime/dla_aot_splitter/dla_aot_splitter_plugin/plugins_aot_splitter.xml
+```
+
+Ensure that the libdla_aot_splitter.so, libcoreDLAHeteroPlugin.so and other shared libraries are available to the utility.
+
+The tool outputs the following artifacts:
+ - arch_build.mem / arch_build.bin
+ - config.mem / config.bin
+ - filter.mem /filter.bin
+ - input.mem / input.bin
+ - inter_size.mem
+ - output_size.mem
+
+# Building the Example Inference Program
+
+The example inference program with static input,config,filter data is compiled with the following environment variables
+and option to build_runtime.sh
+
+## DE10 Agilex
+```
+export AOT_SPLITTER_EXAMPLE_MODEL=<path/to/model.xml>
+export AOT_SPLITTER_EXAMPLE_INPUT=<path/to/image.bmp>
+sh build_runtime.sh -aot_splitter_example -target_de10_agilex
+```
+
+This program directly embeds the input, config and filter data into the resulting exectuable file for direct use.
+
+## PCIE
+
+The emulation inference program uses the PCIE MMD driver from the example design to connect to and provision the IP.
+Your system may require a different driver to provision the IP
