One of the many advantages to using an embedded Linux solution is the lower-level drivers are often part of the kernel. This saves us...

There are several FPGA use cases where a softcore processor is beneficial to the overall solution. These can include anything from...

Having an embedded Linux operating system is critical for Xilinx heterogeneous SoCs to be able to achieve their full potential. The...

On my explorations with the Kria board so far, all the imaging has been using a web camera over USB. Of course, we also can capture...

I have talked about my love of PYNQ for rapid prototyping of applications both commercially and for fun projects on several occasions in...

We have looked at many development boards that are based on Xilinx FPGAs and SoCs during the eight years this blog has been running....

The Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit is great for embedded vision applications and AI acceleration. Several of my clients, however, have...
