Ubuntu announces full compatibility with AMD-Xilinx Versal Adaptive SoC Evaluation Kit

News on June 5, Canonical announced that their Ubuntu The Linux operating system now officially supports the AMD-Xilinx Versal AI Core Series VCK190 evaluation kit. This evaluation kit is the first Versal launched by AMD-Xilinx AI The Core series of products is designed to provide designers with the ability to develop solutions using AI and DSP engines. It is claimed that these engines are capable of delivering more than 100 times the computing performance compared to other server-class CPUs on the market.

AMD-Xilinx Versal AI Core Series VCK190 Evaluation Kit uses VC1902 Versal The AI ​​core series ACAP (Adaptive Computing Acceleration Platform) is expected to provide high-throughput AI inference and signal processing capabilities for cloud, edge and network applications. The kit device comes with dual-core Arm Cortex-A72 APU (Application Processing Unit) and dual-core Arm Cortex-R5F RTPU (real-time processing unit), as well as 400 AI engines, 1,968 DSP engines and 1,968 system logic units (K). In addition, it also features high computing performance PCIe Gen4 interface, DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory interface, HDMI port for video processing applications, SFP28 and QSFP28 optical interface, and RJ-45 Ethernet port connector for network and FMC expansion.

According to Canonical, AMD-Xilinx Versal The AI ​​Core Series VCK190 evaluation kit now runs the Ubuntu operating system. Canonical has provided an optimized Ubuntu Desktop for the VCK190 evaluation kit (non-ES version) 22.04 LTS (codenamed Jammy Jellyfish) mirror. However, Canonical labels these images as "developer preview" for evaluation and development purposes only because there are some known issues. Canonical explicitly warns that current versions of Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS images are not suitable for production systems.

For developers interested in the AMD-Xilinx Versal Adaptive SoC Evaluation Kit, they can download the certified Ubuntu version from Canonical’s official website 22.04 LTS image. This move provides developers with a more convenient and efficient development environment, helping them take full advantage of the powerful features of the VCK190 evaluation kit.
