With a sufficiently large dataset created, the next step is training a model to run on the DPU. I couldn’t find a full list of supported models for the DPU and its corresponding toolchain, but YOLOv3 is confirmed to be working, so I will be usi...

Tensorflow:
After spending many hours trying to shuffle and reformat the bird database into something that Tensorflow would be happy with, I gave up. I found another bird database that already had each .jpg file sized the same, and all the imag...
Hardware Architecture of the Neural Network
A DMA feeds the neural network's input using the AXI Stream protocol. This protocol is very efficient in handling large data using a simple handshake, as depicted below.
The figure above shows the ba...

Introduction
In my previous blog for the Eye On Intelligence Design Challenge, I used the Zynq analog-to-digital converter (XADC) to sample the analog signal from a Wheatstone bridge load cell, amplified with an AD8226 instrumentation amplifier. The ...
Defining the Neuron
Weighted Sum and Bias
For a neuron in a given layer, the output before activation (also known as the pre-activation value) is calculated as follows:
Activation Function Application
After computing the weighted sum z, the neuron a...

Background
For handwritten digit recognition, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the most effective type of neural network, as they excel at identifying patterns and spatial hierarchies in image data. CNNs have become the standard approach, esp...
A good way to work is to use of an Operating System. In this case, the platform provided by AMD is a distribution called Petalinux. For a general purpose computing systems there are no problems selecting distributions or wide range of processors avai...
Many computer architectures contains more than a processor, consequently, the developer must change the programming perspective in order to use each available resource in the platform. This time, the XC7Z020 SoC has a Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 in the H...
