This datasheet is generated from the RTL code, the documentation and the benchmarks
present in the repository \texttt{github.com/manvalan/FPGA-Neural} as of \datasheetdate.
The Fmax, resource usage and throughput values are those reported in the repository
measurements (real \texttt{.lpf} already assigned and place\&route-verified,
ch.~\ref{ch:hw}) and must be re-verified on any substantial RTL change or as the
Phase~7 timing closure, still in progress, continues (ch.~\ref{ch:roadmap}).};
