Jump-start your AI based FPGA application

Learn how easy it is to realize your own AI application with the Xilinx edge machine learning flow


We'd like to invite you to this free seminar, arranged by Enclustra and Avnet SILICA, on FPGA-based AI applications.

It has never been so easy to jump-start AI applications. Thanks to FPGAs, like the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs, the power of AI can now also be used offline and on the edge. Be it image detection and classification, pattern or voice recognition for manufacturing, health care, automotive or financial services: the combination of an Enclustra SoC Module together with the Xilinx Machine Learning (ML) Suite that provides users with the tools to develop and deploy Machine Learning applications for Real-time Inference make it a snap to integrate AI in your application.

During this event, expert engineers from Avnet SILICA and Enclustra will give an introduction to AI and machine learning, and explain concepts, tools and realization on FPGAs. Based on the Enclustra Mars XU3 Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Module it is shown how to implement a vision system that is recognizing fruits, even with minimal VHDL and FPGA know-how.

Take the opportunity to benefit from the experience of the Avnet SILICA and Enclustra engineers. For all participants we do offer an AI starter kit for a special price of only CHF 349.-1 (regular price over CHF 500.-).
