Prebuilt hardware platforms are available for AMD development boards. They provide an AMD verified and bootable design targeting boards such as VCK190 and VEK280. The prebuilt platforms allow for fast integration and deployment of a Vitis subsystem so designers can focus on the signal processing algorithms. The prebuilt base HW platforms are useful in these scenarios:
- Early design and evaluation of signal processing subsystems
- Concurrent development with custom hardware platform
- Independent testing and hardware debugging of the subsystem using development boards
- Performance testing of algorithms using predesigned testing examples like AI Engine test harness.
AMD recommends verifying the subsystem before integrating with the custom platform. This ensures the subsystem being verified in a known environment to ensure functional and performance targets are met before integrating in the intended target system.
