This is a hybrid event; you can join in person or attend virtually.
VCS³ – Single-board computer with AMD ZYNQ device
Details on our latest product, the VCS³, will be available at the show.
Due to its physical dimensions, power, and versatility, the VCS³ is ideal for deployment for Edge AI duties. It is a small Single-Board Computer with an AMD© ZYNQ™ device with integrated ARM CPUs and FPGA fabric. Measuring just 30mm x 50mm, this tiny workhorse can be placed almost anywhere, opening up the benefits of FPGAs to many more applications.
The VCS³ utilizes an AMD UltraScale+ MPSoC coupled with high-speed LP-DDR4 memory to produce a highly compact evaluation platform. Together with four digital camera interfaces, a 9-axis IMU, and a CAN-Bus interface, this platform is ideally suited for autonomous machines, cameras or automation.
Device booting can be from SPI ROMs or eMMC flash, with no bulky, fiddly or unreliable SD cards.
Numerous onboard power rails are generated from a single external 5V supply, or via a USB3 Type-C interface.
Several LEDs indicate board functionality, and numerous test points allow access to the various interfaces.
