Hi all!
I am making this post to let you know that we here at Avnet have generated and posted quite a few PetaLinux BSPs and Vitis platforms (with examples) for our products! That is 33 images!
These are all for Vivado, PetaLinux and Vitis 2020.2. A...
My colleagues at Avnet have published a lot of really sophisticated, powerful scripts and applications that you can run on Ultra96-V2. This includes scripted hardware, PetaLinux, Vitis, and Vitis AI builds that you can find on the Avnet GitHub. narru...
Hi everyone, Just a quick note to help get the word out.Recently, Micron did a die shrink on their memory. The new part is form-fit-function the same and the package has not changed either! This is good news! The original part i...
We have now released the 2020.1 BSP for both Ultra96-V2 and UltraZed EV with the PMIC programming utility built in! For the purposes of this blog, I am going to provide instruction on how to simply download the 2020.1 BSP as an SDcard image. You will...
MicroZed is a System-on-Module (SOM) developed, manufactured, and supported by Avnet. This SOM is based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 device family, including device sizes of 7010 and 7020 as well as both commercial and industrial temperature grades. This ...
The Out-of-Box image for Ultra96-V2 has been updated to 2020.1. This is based on a Vivado 2020.1 hardware platform with PetaLinux 2020.1 operating system. The details on where to get the new image, instructions, and how to use the image are included ...
