acceleration_firmware_kr260

Board Picture Description
Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit The Kria™ KR260 is built for robotics and industrial applications, complete with high performance interfaces and native ROS 2 support for ease of development by roboticists and software developers.

This repository provides AMD/Xilinx's firmware artifacts for the KR260 board using Ubuntu 22.04 meant to accelerate ROS 2 robotic applications.

NOTE on Ubuntu 22.04 integration: Ubuntu 22.04 sysroot is provided by Canonical and AMD at their own terms as available at https://ubuntu.com/download/amd-xilinx. Refer to this resource for more information. This repository leverages the resulting artifacts "as they are" and enables ROS 2 build flows while integrating hardware acceleration through Vitis and Vivado tools..

Use this ROS 2 package

Fetch from sources

To fetch it from sources, proceed as follows to include the Ubuntu 22.04 resources:

git clone https://github.com/ros-acceleration/acceleration_firmware_kr260
wget https://people.canonical.com/~platform/images/xilinx/kria-ubuntu-22.04/iot-limerick-kria-classic-desktop-2204-x06-20220614-78-sysroot.tar.xz -P acceleration_firmware_kr260/firmware/  # will take a few seconds

Fetch using VCS

When leveraging vcs, just use one of the official release links, which should include the Ubuntu 22.04 resources. E.g. include the following in your .repos file:

repositories:
  firmware/acceleration_firmware_kr260:
    type: zip
    url: https://github.com/ros-acceleration/acceleration_firmware_kr260/releases/download/v1.1.0/acceleration_firmware_kr260.zip
