Using QEMU with PetaLinux and Vitis for Embedded Software Development

By

QEMU is a powerful emulation tool that enables early software debugging for complex SoCs like the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, without the need for physical hardware. When paired with PetaLinux and the AMD Vitis development environment, QEMU creates an efficient workflow for embedded Linux development and debugging. This post explains what these tools are, how … Continued

AMD Versal AI Engine and AI Engine-ML. Which is right for you?

By

The AMD Versal architecture introduced a new adaptable compute domain, the AI Engine. The AI Engine is a powerful coprocessor that can be used to implement vectorized algorithms that otherwise would be resource intensive on a traditional FPGA. While the amount of AI Engine tiles varies across the Versal lineup, the AI Engine itself is … Continued
