Kria KV Board
The Xilinx Kria KV series consists of adaptive system-on-modules (SoMs) designed for accelerating AI/ML applications in industrial, automotive, and embedded systems. These SoMs offer powerful edge computing capabilities with a focus on high-performance and low-latency processing. Key features include:
Â
1. Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC: The Kria KV modules are built around the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, integrating ARM processors (Cortex-A53 for general-purpose processing and Cortex-R5 for real-time processing) with programmable FPGA fabric for custom hardware acceleration.
Â
2. AI/ML Acceleration: The KV modules are specifically designed to accelerate machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads at the edge. They support various frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, enabling hardware-accelerated inference for AI tasks such as image recognition, object detection, and sensor fusion.
Â
3. Industrial and Automotive Applications: The KV modules are tailored for applications such as industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and smart factories, offering high-performance computing with real-time capabilities.
Â
4. Pre-Built Software Stacks: The Kria KV series comes with pre-built development environments, including Kria SOMs and software stacks such as the Xilinx Vitis AI development platform, which simplifies the process of deploying AI applications on hardware.
Â
5. Low-Power, High-Performance: Designed for edge deployment, the Kria KV modules deliver high performance with a power-efficient design, suitable for environments where power and space are constrained.
Â
6. Connectivity and Expandability: The KV modules support a wide range of interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, HDMI, and PCIe, providing flexibility for integration into various systems.
Â
The Xilinx Kria KV series is ideal for developers looking to deploy AI and ML solutions at the edge with high flexibility, real-time processing, and adaptability through programmable logic.
