Virtual Event

Concept to Prototype with Ultra96

Accelerating your time to a viable prototype

During this event you'll learn how to go from an initial concept/architecture of an automotive vision design to demonstrating application and algorithm feasibility using off-the-shelf prototyping systems from Avnet and Xilinx. 

This event has ended

What You'll Learn

We'll demonstrate key steps used to create a viable automotive prototype using the Ultra96-V2 and Xilinx solutions:

1

2

3

Creation of an image processing pipeline using Vivado

Testing the image processing pipeline on the Ultra96 using PYNQ and OpenCV with the Dual MIPI Board and MIPI cameras running algorithms on the processor cores

Acceleration of the vision algorithm using Vitis and OpenCL to create a final application

We'll also look at current system solutions and use cases that demonstrate the technical advantages of Xilinx adaptable automotive solutions and how Avnet can help you integrate them into your next design.

Q/A

Hardware

Ultra96

The demos presented during this event will feature the Ultra96-V2 an Arm-based, Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+™ MPSoC development board. This low cost board is perfect for prototyping without breaking the bank and designs can be migrated to more advanced boards like the UltraZed-EV or UltraZed-EG using Xilinx software solutions. 

UltraZed EV

The UltraZed-EV SOM is a high performance, full-featured, System-On-Module (SOM). During the event, we'll discuss the board features and how to migrate your prototype from an Ultra96-V2 to an UltraZed-EV for those times when you require additional features for your designs.

Programmable Logic Whitepaper

Accelerating Automotive Applications

As the demands on automotive capability increase, Xilinx XA portfolio of automotive devices and supporting tool chains provide designers with the ability to achieve not only the desired performance, but also the quality, functional safety and security required.

Embedded Video Processing Using the UltraZed-EV

How have embedded or hardware designers accommodated the trend toward video streams requiring higher resolution, higher data rates, and overall more compute-intensive applications? This webinar on Element14 will present an example of how this is done using the video-centric Avnet UltraZed-EV platform. 

Using Python Overlays to Experiment with Neural Networks

Python Productivity for Zynq, or PYNQ, has the ability to present programmable logic circuits as hardware libraries called overlays. Using existing community overlays, this video on Element14 examines how a beginner can experiment with neural networks using PYNQ on Ultra96. 

Make the Shift

The future is driven by adaptable technology. Are you ready?
