USB, SD card, and Ethernet physical interfaces. The thermal solution includes a heat sink, heat sink cover, and fan. The Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit is designed to provide customers a platform to evaluate their target applications and ultimately design their own carrier card with K26 SOMs.
X24577-041421 What's in the Box? The Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit includes a K26 SOM, integrated thermal solution, and carrier card. The kit is only meant for SOM platform evaluation with the carrier card providing a variety of interfaces for integrating different peripherals. The box also includes a Getting Started card that directs you to the getting started web page and product page.

A power monitor device is available on the SOM power rail (V ). You can access the total CC_SOM power consumed by the SOM module through the I2C bus and Xilinx provided utilities. Powering Peripherals The KV260 Starter Kit carrier card supplies power to the I/O peripherals as specified by the following interface specifications.
FPGA based PWM fan controller. The fan gating signal is connected to a FPGA HD I/O bank pin for control. Consult the corresponding KV260 Starter Kit carrier card schematic for specific pin assignment and Xilinx SOM source code repositories for an RTL implementation that can be integrated with your design.
Note: You must burn the SD card image and populate the SD card in the carrier card for the kit to successfully boot to Linux. The overall boot device definition and firmware contents are outlined in the following figure. UG1089 (v1.2) July 26, 2022 www.xilinx.com Send Feedback KV260 Starter Kit...

SOM Linux image to help you configure and work with the SOM. The table provides a list and description of the functions available from Xilinx. You should use the -h or help functions with each utility to get detailed use instructions. Using sudo is required with many of the xmutil functions.
Chapter 4: Software Getting Started Accelerated Applications The Xilinx SOM platforms are enabled with a number of accelerated applications that can be dynamically installed on the SOM platform. The SOM starter Linux image is application agnostic and provides a set of utilities for pulling the hardware accelerated application examples from the SOM Linux package feeds.
To see a list of the applications local to the system, execute sudo xmutil listapps. You can also see what applications are local by manually exploring the /opt/xilinx directory. 4. By default, kv260-dp is loaded on boot. From the applications list, check for an active application loaded (active = 1 in the xmutil listapps output).
Chapter 5: Xilinx Tools Integration Chapter 5 Xilinx Tools Integration The K26LTD SOM and KV260 Starter Kit are integrated with the Vitis™ software development platform and Vivado ® Design Suite for rapid development of your unique applications on the platform.
• SM-K26-XCL2GC: K26 commercial grade production SOM • SM-K26-XCL2GI: K26 industrial grade production SOM The Xilinx SOM board flow infrastructure provides starter kit carrier card awareness through the Vivado tools companion card mechanism. Automation for I/O connection and peripheral IP configuration when selecting a SOM and an associated carrier card, such as the KV260 Starter Kit, is used to create a hardware configuration.
A/B firmware partitions of the QSPI device with custom or Xilinx provided updates. The second tool is the Ethernet recovery tool that is intended to be used only when recovering a full platform to the original factory firmware.
BOOT.BIN. To support platform recovery, the KV260 Starter Kit factory BOOT.BIN image is made available on the Xilinx SOM Getting Started web page. You can also use this tool when customizing the platforms boot firmware with your own BOOT.BIN generated through the Xilinx Vitis and PetaLinux tools.
The Xilinx starter kit Linux provides a utility for doing these updates entirely on-target. The steps for using the Xilinx SOM A/B update tool are: 1.
