Mouser Electronics announced today that it is now stocking the Kria KD240 drive starter kit from AMD Xilinx.

The Kria KD240 Drive Starter Kit is a cost-optimized hardware, software, and platform solution that enables control system designers and embedded software developers to quickly and immediately develop applications in robotics, drives and actuators, industrial automation and motors, Ethernet gateways and sensors, EV charging stations, medical equipment, and aviation systems.

The Kria KD240 Drive Starter Kit, available from Mouser, is an evaluation kit that supports low-cost FPGA-based motor control and digital signal processing (DSP) applications for the Kria K24 System-on-Module (SOM).

This kit consists of a non-production version of the K24 SOM, a carrier card, and a passive heatsink. The K24 SOM is said to be a very compact solution that contains only core components such as AMD's Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC-based silicon device and memory, boot, and security modules.

The carrier card includes a power solution, three Ethernet interfaces, a CAN interface, a microSD card, a three-phase power inverter, and multiple analog-to-digital converter (ADC) channels. It also provides single-ended and differential QEI connectors, a torque sensor, a three-phase motor, and terminal blocks for brake control. Additional expansion options are also available via the onboard 12-pin PMOD interface.

Mouser emphasized that the KD240 is the ideal platform to accelerate DSP innovation with pre-built interfaces and accelerated applications, while the commercial- and industrial-grade Kria K24 System-on-Mount (SOM) allows developers to easily bring their ideas to volume production.
