RE: Accelerating Innovation with the AMD Kria™︎ KR260 Robotics Starter Kit

The Sony IMX547 Camera for the KR260 is quite hard to get hands on. I'd like to try it out, but the price and availability make it harder to get.

AMD (Xilinx) has done an impressive job making this kit usable without necessarily needing to become an FPGA guru. It isn't quite a plug-and-play kit, more like a copy/paste kit but that is light years easier than bare metal design & programming of an FPGA application with attendant software drivers etc.

I'd love to try a road test with the products

we got away from dealing with these folks. Theyre about standard fare for complexity. I've never been able to get any decent support out of them. For myself, a worker in an automation systems organization, with the frequent task of having to stream line production automation Im always amazed when companies present some half hour demo on a single provisioning application. its like bruh, the faster I get your products in our units, the more money we all make. How the heck do we make this 30 minute process a 1 minute process, and completely remove the possibility of human error? you train a human to do it. isnt a good answer. Any guy we got with the skill to memorize whatever crazy bs interface these companies come up with is a personnel resource that could be better utilized doing anything else.

Ive seen a bunch of these anybus gateways come back, usually due to onsite deployment compatibility issues. which is kinda the same thing, if it were simple, maybe an onsite tech could fix it. instead, they call us, we struggle then conclude its some artificially imposed barrier to keeping these products unusable. Fun fact, Anybus is a Mitsubishi subsidiary, and Mitsubishi is my company's primary competitor. of course I think only my boss and myself know that. we don't care, it was funny for a while though. We just cant afford all the time these products take to configure on any given site post provisioning. We need stuff that just works, every time, no fuss.

MSA doesnt have a better product, they have better support.

Let's hope that whatever challenge you come up with is a bit easier to complete than the experimenting with industrial automation program. It's very difficult to just "learn" industrial controls without code examples and good software documentation/tutorials.

RE: How Can the High Voltage Intelligent Battery Shunt Reference Design Benefit You?

Im kinda surprised to see USB rather than canbus. Im also kinda surprised to not see an optical interface to apply the shunt in higher current and voltage applications, broader than just EVs.

Following up on M comment, the graphics for components don't align. The buy ad for the power strip graphic are not the same.

The link to the shunt component is wrong and takes you to a Broadcom optical part.

You may care to fix this.

The reference design is expensive and the choice of USB as the interface rather odd, but the schematic and a good description of it would be useful if one wants to use the shunt and divider components.

Are they available ?

Nice Article thanks for the information

Good information. I know it's hard to get your product into an automotive application, sometimes takes several years to qualify a part, but if you get in, the quantity of parts they require can pay for all the development costs.

Nice article.

I have always been amazed at the different approaches used for displays both in automobiles and in aircraft.

There has been a lot of interesting devices used over the years.

I agree could be a very interesting road test product.

Impressed that some of tthese are actually affordable : ) I've only encountered these sensors once before (from a different manufacturer), in a part which integrated an entire time-of-flight array: [mention:e2230f2c0eff40eb8c23af79001c4b41:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07]

Definitely keen to try out one of these Broadcom parts once I figure out the amplifier circuit. Can't see the schematic online for the Evaluation Kit. [mention:e7bf4e6d43eb406da96f552ba25ee644:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] please could Broadcom supply the schematic and board files? It's in the manufacturer's interest to supply an example or reference schematic, otherwise it's much harder for engineers to get going with their parts.
