EVALUATION & INTEGRATION

Board identity & bring-up

Identify your hardware

Record kit ordering code, PCB revision and fitted device. Obtain the matching user guide, schematic and bill of supplied accessories.

Check before power-on

Confirm supply polarity/rating, jumper settings, connector voltages and boot mode from the board guide. Disconnect unverified peripherals.

Establish a reproducible baseline

Run the documented example with its specified tool release. Save the configuration, logs and observed result before changing interfaces or firmware.

This is a review workflow, not a claim that FPGA.io has tested this release or board. Record your exact revision and acceptance result.

ENGINEERING DECISIONS

What to confirm before selection

Record the exact revision and resolve these requirements against its documentation.

  1. Check board revision, boot flow, and firmware requirements.
  2. Confirm required early-access or release-specific software.

EVIDENCE & DEVELOPMENT

Documents for this product line

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

VEK385 evaluation kit selection questions

Which product or release should I specify?

Use the exact product name and revision, together with the target device and intended workflow. A Versal AI Edge Gen 2 platform for integrated embedded AI. AMD also recommends it for Prime Gen 2 evaluation.

How do I check device support?

Use the manufacturer support matrix, release notes or board documentation for the exact revision. Record the exact target device and version; a shared manufacturer alone does not prove compatibility.

What should be checked before integration?

Confirm the board or module revision, fitted device, carrier interface, supply, cooling, connectors, accessories and reference software.

What should I include in a project request?

Describe the application, exact product or revision, target hardware, quantities and delivery requirements. State which components, board manufacturing, programming and test work you need reviewed.
