+## Description
+
+### Why is this important?
+
+Tools such as HLS4ML have proven extremely successful for rapid FPGA-based AI acceleration, particularly in research and edge-AI contexts. However, there is currently a significant gap between FPGA-targeted HLS workflows and reproducible, tape-out-ready ASIC design flows.
+
+Many AI accelerator projects focus on a single model, dataset, or hardware target. This project instead focuses on defining a repeatable and auditable methodology for translating AI models into hardware IP suitable for integration into an Arm-based SoC and potential fabrication.
+
+We are looking for a clear, well-documented path from AI model → HLS → RTL → Arm-based SoC → tape-out. This reduces the cost, risk, and expertise barrier for startups, academics, and independent developers to innovate on silicon.
+
+### Project Summary
+
+This project explores the use of HLS4ML (and comparable HLS-based AI tools) to develop a repeatable, tape-out-capable workflow for creating AI accelerator IP that can be integrated with Arm IP into a full SoC design.
+
+The focus is not on a single accelerator or model, but on defining a methodology that includes:
+
+AI and software layer
+- Selection of AI models (e.g. CNNs, transformers, or classical ML models).
+- Quantisation, pruning, and model optimisation strategies compatible with hardware implementation.
+- Clear mapping between software frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow / PyTorch) and hardware-friendly representations.
+
+Hardware generation layer
+- Use of HLS4ML (or alternatives where appropriate) to generate synthesizable RTL.
+- Identification of constraints and modifications required to move from FPGA-oriented HLS outputs to ASIC-suitable RTL.
+- Definition of design rules, interfaces, and verification steps that ensure reproducibility.
+
+SoC Design
+- Integration of the generated accelerator as an IP block within an Arm-based SoC.
+- Documentation of the additional steps required beyond FPGA validation: synthesis targets, timing closure considerations, verification, and power/area trade-offs.
+- Clear identification of what changes are needed to move from “works on FPGA” to “ready for fabrication”.
+
+The output of this project is a reference flow, example designs, and documentation that others can follow to reproducibly generate AI accelerator IP suitable for integration into real Arm-based silicon.
+
+## What will you use?
+You should be familiar with, or willing to learn about:
+- High-level Synthesis (HLS), including HLS4ML or similar tools
+- Machine learning frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch)
+- AI model optimisation for hardware (quantisation, pruning)
+- RTL and digital design basics
+- Arm-based SoC and accelerator integration concepts
+- Software–hardware co-design
+- Reproducible design workflows
