ALINX Releases Development Board and SoM with AMD Versal™ AI Edge

Shanghai, China – February 26th, 2024 – ALINX releases the VD100 development board with AMD/Xilinx Versal™ AI Edge VE2302. As one of the Tier-1 SoM (System-on-Module) partners, ALINX works closely with AMD to build the ecosystem. The price of VD100 is fixed at 800 USD to attract more people to utilize and benefit from AMD FPGA and AI technology. Equipped with a multitude of peripherals, with an affordable price, VD100 is the ideal starter’s development board for applications based on AMD’s Versal devices. The pluggable module offers users the flexibility to customize their own carrier boards for mass production. VD100 will be exhibited at Embedded World Nuremberg 2024 in April at AMD’s booth.

The heatsink kit with fan and SD card would be delivered with the development board by default. There are add-on options including AN5020 MIPI camera and AN7000 LVDS LCD to enable users to get started right away.
