AMD / Xilinx Versal™ AI Edge Gen 2 VEK385 Evaluation Kit

AMD / Xilinx Versal™ AI Edge Gen 2 VEK385 Evaluation Kit is a powerful, flexible platform for rapid evaluation of Versal AI Edge series Gen 2 adaptive System-on-Chips (SoCs). Built around the 2VE3858 device, the kit exposes the full heterogeneous architecture and enhanced processing system. The system offers up to 10X more scalar compute than first-generation Versal devices, next-generation AI Engines, DSP Engines, and high-performance programmable logic, alongside a comprehensive set of integrated peripherals. With high-bandwidth LPDDR5X memory and rich vision, networking, and industrial interfaces, the kit enables fast prototyping of end-to-end embedded pipelines from sensor preprocessing to AI inference and real-time control.    

 

This kit comes with a breadth of connectivity options, software tools, and example designs to accelerate development of applications from sensor to AI to real-time control across multiple markets.
