Seeking Feedback on Your Preference for an AMD Kria Workshop

rscasny
rscasny over 1 year ago

I am planning for offering an AMD Kria workshop in early 2025. (Note: it takes awhile to put a workshop together!) I wanted to get your interest. Please vote in the polls below so I can gauge your interest level. Thanks.

Let me give some background first:

What is Kria?

  • Kria SOMs were designed with SW engineers in mind, providing familiar design environments without requiring FPGA programming experience.

Kria SOMs

  • Kria K24 SOM features a cost-optimized, custom-built ZynqTm UltraScale+Tm MPSoC device targeting power efficient DSP-intensive applications such as motor control.
  • Kria K26 SOM features a mid-range custom-built Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device in a small form factor targeting vision AI, robotics and industrial applications.

AMD Kria Starter kits

  • KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit: Designed for vision AI applications, the KV260 is the fastest way to develop unique vision solutions for production volume deployment with the K26 SOM.
  • KR260 Robotics Starter Kit: Designed for robotics and industrial applications, the KR260 is the fastest way to develop intelligent factory solutions for production volume deployment with the K26 SOM.
  • KD240 Drives Starter Kit: An out-of-the-box ready development platform for motor control and DSP applications. Embedded SW developers without FPGA expertise can easily get started by running accelerated applications and leverage multiple development flows, including Python, the MATLAB® Simulink® environment, and more.

    This is new technology for me. Although there is some canned starter software, given the underlying complexity, I would need to start with some introductory work. Eventually I would be interested to see…

    I really don't get it. Everything, everybody wants to talk to the "Cloud"?? What is the driving force for the Cloud? This means you have to pay somebody else to do the work, and how SECURE is it? This…

    I would suggest to NOT buy the "Vision" kit. It's a crippled version of the SoM with one of the interconnects missing and very little real documentation. Unfortunately, it was the first kit on the market…

    That comment is so simple yet is so precise. Kria is a very complex device, first because it is an FPGA but second, because for some reason, the way they designed de boot process is also different from other FPGAs, so it is quite confusing. Also, marketing always use canned starter software to show how easy it is to get started, while hiding the fact that any deviation from those demos require quite some deep knowledge about random parts of the technology stack

    I think that the HDMI comes from the processing system (PS) so it is managed via software/linux

    I have another dev board based on the 5ev which does HDMI in PL and DisplayPort from PS. I don't know exactly what chip the Kria uses (they seem to be keeping that proprietary), but what information they do have (https://www.amd.com/en/products/system-on-modules/kria/k26/k26c-commercial.html#documentation) shows only DisplayPort from the module, not HDMI, leading me to believe it's a PL thing with the carrier board similar to my Genesys-ZU board.

    It should be specified clearly somewhere, but for some reason is hidden between datasheets, product selection guides, user guides, application notes, etc. In https://docs.amd.com/r/en-US/ds986-kv260-starter-kit/Product-Details there is a figure where it shows HDMI and Display port from the same "video splitter" whatever that is. Xilinx could take a look at page 3 of the zedboard user manual to see how it is done files.digilent.com/.../ZedBoard_HW_UG_v2_2.pdf

    Also, the chip of the K26 SoM the XCK26. I do not remember where I found that info but here is a sort of proof that this is the case adaptivesupport.amd.com/.../what-exactly-is-customized-on-xck26-which-is-the-mpsoc-used-in-k26som
