EK-VEK385-G

EK-VEK385-G is a AMD Versal™ AI Edge series Gen 2 VEK385 evaluation kit. It is a powerful, flexible platform for rapid bring-up and evaluation of Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 adaptive SoCs. Built around the 2VE3858 device, the kit exposes the full heterogeneous architecture, enhanced processing system offering up to 10X more scalar compute than first-generation Versal devices,1 next generation AI Engines, DSP Engines, and high-performance programmable logic, alongside a comprehensive set of integrated peripherals. With high-bandwidth LPDDR5X memory and rich vision, networking, and industrial interfaces, the kit enables fast prototyping of end-to-end embedded pipelines from sensor preprocessing to AI inference and real-time control. This kit comes with a breadth of connectivity options, software tools, and example designs to accelerate development of applications from sensor to AI to real-time control across multiple markets.
