A New Adaptive Module for Vision AI at the Edge

Xilinx Kria System-on-Modules (SOMs) provide a secure, production-ready multi-core Arm and FPGA platform, including memories, power management, and Yocto or Ubuntu Linux to build accelerated AI-enabled applications at the edge. Kria SOMs enable smart vision applications across cities, factories, and hospitals to achieve high performance with low latency, low power consumption and a small footprint. And Kria SOMs feature a radical new way to design with Xilinx: Accelerated Applications via the Xilinx App Store. Kria Accelerated Apps offer an industry-first: they enable both new and experienced Xilinx designers to skip doing any FPGA design. Accelerated Apps give the SOM the personality of a purpose-built smart camera, AI box, or other vision AI system. Apps are fully accelerated—including image acquisition, pre-processing, AI inference, post-processing, encoding and connectivity—offering the highest performance for industrial use cases. Accelerated Apps span license plate recognition, retail shopper re-identification, HDR image signal processing, natural language processing and more.
