Description

The first starter kit in the KriaTm portfolio, the KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit is an out-ofthe-box platform for advanced vision application development. It is equipped with a non-production version of the production K26 SOM. This SOM and fansink are mounted to an evaluation carrier card optimized for vision applications, featuring multi-camera support via ON Semiconductor Imager Access System (IAS) and Raspberry Pi connectors. Enabled by a growing ecosystem of accelerated applications for the KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit, developers of all types can get applications up and running in under 1 hour, with no FPGA experience needed. From there, customization and differentiation can be added via preferred design environments, at any level of abstraction—from application software to AI model to FPGA design. With both hardware and software development requirements simplified, the KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit is the fastest and easiest platform for application development with the goal of volume deployment on Kria K26 SOMs.

  • Re: I am having a problem with the Kria KV260 board: no video output

    Here's my problem:

    The Kria KV260 board that I have does not seem to work properly. There is no video output of any sort regardless of HDMI or DisplayPort use. No video output.

    I have tried a number of monitors and cables and other settings, all to no avail. I have also tried to setup and use several versions flavors of VNC and Remote Desktop, but I get no output either.

    I have tried Ubuntu and PetaLinux. No video output.

    Let me also add:

    Let me add some more information regarding what I have done and the problem I am having with the Kria KV260 kit:

    I would like to clarify that there’s no video output from the board via the HDMI or DisplayPort video output. There’s also no graphical interface through any of the VNC flavors that have tried.

    I can still access the board via the serial port and via secure shell (ssh). Therefore the board itself is not dead and I can interface with it, but there is no video output. There’s no graphical interface available.

    Also, I have updated the firmware as recommended, and I have put Ubuntu and PetaLinux on the flash card. Same behavior for both Linux flavors.

    If anyone can offer some help, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

    It is a bummer you are having an issue with your board.  The video interface is a nice feature, but is not needed for all of the samples provided by Xilinx.  I would suggest trying to get the smart camera app up and running since this app had not dependency on the HDMI/DisplayPort monitor.  Then you will be able to enjoy some of the goodness that this board can do.
