i successfully run the single node simulation and also i tried the dark-net on f1.
How to get the performance like areas, LUTs, power.

For the number of LUTs, you can build the hardware (see Building Your Own Hardware in README), and check the area report in the build results. Maybe I can better help you if you tell me what you exactly want to achieve.

thank you so much.

the specific question is:
i want to replace some module in nvdla/hw, for example the camc, and then re-build firesim-nvdla to check the performance.

@CristinaZN

can i clone this firesim-nvdla repo and just use "firesim buildafi" to run the nvdla and darknet?

can i modify the target-design/firechip/nvidia-dla-blocks/hw/vmod
and use firesim launchrunfarm, infrasetup, runworkload to get a new design?

thanks for your reply.
may i make sure if i understand your explanation.
i only need to modify the verilogs in nvidia-dla-blocks/vsrc/large, and leave those config in config_*.ini unchanged, and firesim buildafi?

ok, i get a new AFGI, and i replace the AFGI id in config_hwdb.ini with the new one.
But when i do firesim infrasetup, i encountered the problem:
