# acceleration_firmware_kv260

| Board | Picture | Description | 
|------------|-------|-------------|
| [Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit](https://www.xilinx.com/products/som/kria/kv260-vision-starter-kit.html) | ![](https://www.xilinx.com/content/dam/xilinx/imgs/products/som/som-kv260-4.png) | The Kria™ KV260 starter kit is a development platform for the K26, the first adaptive Single Board Computer. KV260 offers a compact production-grade board for edge vision and robotics applications.  |


This repository provides Xilinx's firmware artifacts for the KV260 board meant to accelerate ROS 2 robotic applications.

<ins>**NOTE**</ins>: *This repository is has various **GB** of data. Due to GitHub size restrictions, the whole source code is available under [releases](https://github.com/ros-acceleration/acceleration_firmware_kv260/releases)*. *Refer to each corresponding's release `firmware/ARTIFACTS.md` file for a description of all the artifacts included*.
