Kria K26 SOM
Overview
The Kria K26 is a System-on-Module (SOM) based on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, featuring a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 and dual-core Cortex-R5F processing system alongside programmable logic. This production-ready module integrates 4GB of DDR4 memory and 16GB of eMMC storage into a compact 77mm x 60mm form factor for industrial and commercial vision applications. It is designed to accelerate high-performance edge computing and AI inference by combining high-speed I/O like PCIe and DisplayPort with hardware-accelerated cryptographic functions.
Why Choose This Part
The module provides a fast track to production by offloading complex PCB design tasks like DDR4 routing and power management into a pre-certified SOM. It features an integrated thermal heat spreader for efficient cooling and a wide 0 to 85 degree C operating temperature range for reliability. Security is prioritized with a dedicated TPM 2.0 module and extensive tamper monitoring, making it suitable for deployment in sensitive environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can start by pairing the K26 SOM with the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit for rapid prototyping. Software development is handled via the Vivado Design Suite and Vitis Unified Software Platform, supporting both RTL-based hardware design and C/C++ application development. For Linux-based applications, Petalinux or Ubuntu for Kria are the recommended operating systems to manage the ARM Cortex-A53 subsystem.
