Using Accelerated Applications with the Kria K260 Robotics Starter Kit

This is a free course that will help you learn about the Kria™ System-on-Module (SOM) and Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit, enabling you to accelerate robotics-based applications using the KR260 Starter Kit right out of the box without any installation or FPGA knowledge.

The course also demonstrates how to use the Kria Robotics Stack (KRS) to run prebuilt accelerated robotics applications.

The emphasis of this course is on:

  • Providing an overview of the Kria K26 SOM and its advantages
  • Providing an overview of the Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit and how to get started with the kit
  • Describing the Kria Robotics Stack (KRS) and how it enables roboticists to get up and running in the Robot Operating System (ROS)
  • Running accelerated applications using an Ubuntu image, including the ROS 2 Multi-Node Communication via TSN accelerated application
1 Getting Started with the Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit
Introduces the KR260 Robotics Starter Kit, its features, and interfaces. Explains what the Kria Robotics Stack (KRS) is and how it enables roboticists to get up and running in the Robot Operating System (ROS). Also describes the initial board bring-up process and provides an overview of the accelerated applications that are supported.
2 Launching the ROS 2 Multi-Node Communications via TSN Accelerated Application Using the KR260 Robotics Starter Kit
Covers the basics of what a time sensitive network (TSN) is as well as the TSN IP core. Provides an overview of the TSN application configuration with a base platform definition, out-of-the-box implementation, and real-world usage.
