VE2302 Development Kit
PRODUCT PREVIEW: The VE2302 Development Kit is scheduled to be released Q2 2025. Final spec's are subject to change.
The VE2302 Development Kit (DK)is specifically designed to evaluate Avnet’s VE2302 System-on-Module (SOM) and AI Edge IO Carrier Card. With a VE2302 DK a designer can assess the capabilities of the AMD Versal™ AI Edge Adaptive SoC with a combination of versatile peripherals. This combination helps designers to kick-start product development giving access to the feature set of the Versal AI Edge Adaptive SoC.
The VE2302-DK uses the 104 XPIO, 22 HDIO, 13 PMC MIO, 12 LPD MIO and 8 GTYP transceivers that are available from the VE2302 SOM via three 160-pin Samtec AcceleRate® HD High-Density 4-Row connectors that mount to the AI Edge IO Carrier Card. The first Samtec AcceleRate HD connector on the AI Edge IO Carrier Card is mapped to various processor-based interfaces such as USB2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, CAN, microSD, push buttons, and LEDs. This connector also contains support interfaces such as the JTAG, UART, and SYSMON. The last interface of this connector comes from an HDIO bank on the VE2302 device and is mapped to one HSIO TXR2 expansion site. The second connector on the AI Edge IO Carrier Card is mapped to six 22-pin MIPI interfaces (CSI or DSI), a Digilent Pmod™ Type-1 compatible interface, push buttons, dipswitch, and LEDs using XPIO banks from the VE2302 device. The last Samtec HD connector is dedicated to GTYP transceiver interfaces. The GTYP transceivers are mapped to HDMI 2.1 compliant TX and RX interfaces, 2 zSFP+ interfaces, and the HSIO TXR2 expansion site transceiver location. These GTYP interfaces have clocks provided by an on-board programmable clock generator from Renesas.
The VE2302-DK is a combination of a VE2302 SOM, AI Edge IO Carrier Card, and a power supply with an Out-of-Box reference design, downloadable Hardware User Guide, Board Definition File (BDF), and Board-Support-Package (BSP) along with example designs to help developers get started in the development of custom applications.
The VE2302-DK is a great vehicle for bringing up initial designs targeting Avnet’s VE2302 SOM and provides an excellent starting point for creating your own custom carrier card.

Avnet at the Embedded Vision Summit
This intelligent parking lot system leverages the RZBoard V2L and its high-powered Renesas RZ/V2L processor, running an accelerated occupancy detection model supported by OpenCV and Avnet's IoTConnect.
Designing for AMD Versal Adaptive SoCs
This webinar will show an example design developed using model-based design with the AMD Vitis™ Model Composer and Simulink. The design can then be deployed on a Versal AI Edge platform such as VE2302 SOM developed by Avnet.
