Xilinx Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit

Xilinx Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit is a development platform based on the Kria K26 SOM and built for robotics and industrial applications. It is complete with high-performance interfaces and native ROS 2 support for ease of development by roboticists and software developers. The KR260 Robotics Starter Kit delivers a ROS-centric development experience for a quick and easy workflow for roboticists and embedded developers.

The Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit includes a carrier card, a Kria K26 SOM, and a thermal solution. The SOM is very compact and only includes key components such as a Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC-based silicon device, memory, boot, and security module. The Robotics Starter Kit carrier card allows various interfacing options, including a power solution, multiple Ethernet interfaces, SFP+ connectivity, an SLVS-EC sensor interface, and a microSD card. The thermal solution has a heat sink, heat sink cover, and fan.

The Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit provides customers with a platform to evaluate their target applications and ultimately design their own carrier card with Xilinx K26 SOMs. While the SOM itself has broad applicability across markets and applications, the target applications for the Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit are factory automation, communication, control, and vision, specifically robotics and machine vision.
