Using a flat shell for an accelerator card includes reading a flat shell from one or more computer readable storage media using computer hardware, wherein the flat shell is a synthesized, unplaced, and unrouted top-level circuit design specifying platform circuitry. A kernel specifying user circuitry is synthesized using the computer hardware. The kernel is obtained from the one or more computer readable storage media. The synthesized kernel is linked, using the computer hardware, to the flat shell forming a unified circuit design. The unified circuit design is placed and routed, using the computer hardware, to generate a placed and routed circuit design specifying the platform circuitry and the user circuitry for implementation in an integrated circuit.

Implementing hardware accelerators using programmable integrated circuits may include performing, using a processor, a design flow on a static circuit design. The static circuit design may specify a region reserved for a hardware accelerator and a static region comprising interface circuitry configured to couple the hardware accelerator with an external node. The design flow may generate an implemented static circuit design. Metadata describing the interface circuitry may be generated using a processor. A device support archive including the implemented static circuit design and the metadata may be written, using the processor, to a computer readable storage medium.
