Getting Started

Start by downloading the Kria Robotics Stack (KRS) and the Ubuntu-based desktop environment tailored for the KR260. Utilize the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite and Vitis Unified Software Platform for custom FPGA acceleration and application development. Connect the board via the microUSB UART port and boot from a microSD card to run pre-built ROS 2 perception and control examples.
