AMD Versal™ AI Core VCK190

Download WinDriver Free Trial

High-performance platform designed for advanced AI, networking, and signal processing applications

Unlike traditional FPGAs, the VCK190 combines programmable logic with AI engines, CPUs, and fast memory interfaces. This makes it a flexible and powerful tool for many industries.


The VCK190’s PCIe Gen3 x8 interface makes it an excellent candidate for integration with Jungo WinDriver. Once the FPGA design exposes memory regions through Base Address Registers (BARs) and sets up interrupt lines using AMD’s XDMA or QDMA IP cores, WinDriver provides full support for accessing and managing these features. Developers can read from and write to the BAR space, handle interrupts, and perform high-speed DMA transfers directly from user space. Additionally, WinDriver includes DriverWizard, a utility that simplifies driver creation by generating host-side code for both Windows and Linux platforms. This allows developers to interact with the FPGA using a high-level API, removing the need for kernel-level coding and drastically reducing development time.

 


Ideal for AMD FPGA Projects

The AMD Versal VCK190 is a powerful and versatile FPGA platform designed for real-time AI, signal processing, and embedded computing. With a rich mix of CPU, AI, and programmable logic resources, it serves a broad range of use cases from vision and automotive to networking and industrial control.

Pairing it with Jungo WinDriver simplifies host-side development. You can build PCIe-based communication in a matter of hours rather than weeks. If your project involves creating a high-speed FPGA interface to a PC or server, this combination offers both flexibility and speed without needing to dive into kernel development.

No Kernel Development Required

WinDriver allows you to build fully functional drivers in user space, eliminating the need to write or maintain complex kernel code. This drastically reduces development time and lowers the risk of system instability.

Direct PCIe BAR Access

With support for AMD’s XDMA and QDMA IP cores, WinDriver enables efficient, high-throughput data transfers. This is ideal for applications like AI inference, image processing, or data acquisition, where bandwidth is critical.

Real-Time Interrupt Handling

WinDriver simplifies the process of setting up and responding to device interrupts. Developers can handle events such as data-ready signals or fault conditions directly from user space with minimal latency.

Cross-Platform Driver Support

WinDriver offers consistent APIs for both Windows and Linux hosts. This makes it easier to develop and maintain a single driver solution across multiple operating systems without rewriting code.

Fast Prototyping with DriverWizard

The built-in DriverWizard tool automatically detects PCIe devices and generates a working driver framework. It accelerates initial development and provides a solid foundation for testing and customization.

High-Speed DMA Support

With support for AMD’s XDMA and QDMA IP cores, WinDriver enables efficient, high-throughput data transfers. This is ideal for applications like AI inference, image processing, or data acquisition, where bandwidth is critical.

Targeted Reference Designs: Multi-Sensor Video Analytics for Automotive Apps


This demo, running on Versal AI Core series VCK190 evaluation kit, demonstrates machine learning based video analytics on multiple image feeds simultaneously. The design receives live feeds via image sensor modules on the VCK190 evaluation board and accelerates image processing functions and different AI/ML workloads commonly seen in many automotive applications.

Testimonials

Inomed- Jörg Wipfler (Head of R&D)
“Usually, if a problem occurs during the development process, you don’t know whether it’s in the firmware – or even in the hardware – or in the software on the PC, WinDriver helped enormously to avoid such problems.”
GE Healthcare - Yann Casteignau (Principal Engineer Digital Hardware Design)
“We were looking for a driver to allow access to the board’s resources for a Windows 2000-based software. Having no intention to develop the driver in-house, we then searched the web and found Jungo’s solution.”
Brookhaven National Laboratory - John Haggerty (Data Acquisition Coordinator)
“I have been impressed with the relative ease with which one can develop a high performance driver for a PCI card without much detailed knowledge of the computer’s hardware or even the system software."
BittWare - Dave Hedstrom (Senior Software Engineer)
“When we tried Jungo’s WinDriver, we were immediately pleased with what they had to offer, using only the evaluation version, we found that none of the limitations of the competing tool that we were faced with, applied to Jungo’s WinDriver. After only three days of development, we had a working driver and a kernel plug in for interrupts”
