How Versal Gen 2 Elevates Edge SDR Performance In the demanding world of Software Defined Radio (SDR) for aerospace and defense applications, the transition from traditional FPGA-centric designs to heterogeneous adaptive SoCs has been transformative. The AMD Versal...

If you’re working on embedded systems, networking equipment, video processing, or anything needing tight integration of software and custom hardware acceleration, AMD’s adaptive SoCs are strong contenders. These combine processors, programmable logic, and...

Developing OpenVPX and SOSA-aligned systems often requires significant infrastructure before meaningful software, FPGA, or system-level validation can even begin. Engineers frequently depend on full VPX chassis, backplanes, cooling systems, and power subsystems just...

After years of battling routing congestion, painful timing closure, and excessive fabric resource usage in large UltraScale+ designs, the hardened Network-on-Chip (NoC) in AMD’s Versal platform stands out as a genuine architectural advancement. Instead of building a...

What the ISP in AMD Versal Gen 2 Actually Does (and How It’s Different From Gen 1) If you’ve worked with Versal Gen 1, you already know the deal: there was no hardened ISP on the chip. If you wanted an imaging pipeline, you either built it in the programmable logic,...

When you’re running a Vision LLM on an AMD© Versal™ AI Gen 2, the real magic happens in how the chip moves data around. It’s not just about raw math speed; it’s about making sure the processors aren’t sitting idle waiting for information. The Role...

Leveraging RFSoC and AI for Non-Cooperative Communication in Harsh Environments Introduction In the domain of signal intelligence (SIGINT), detecting and analyzing communications from non-cooperative senders presents formidable challenges. A non-cooperative sender is...

We are thrilled to announce that Sundance will be presenting at the upcoming FPGA Frontrunner 2026 event. Our Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. Mans Ahmadian, will take the stage to unveil our latest work: a defense-grade secure workflow for manufacturing, testing, and...

Model Zoos and Ready-to-Run Models on Vitis AI Introduction to Part 3 Okay, so you’ve got the basics down in parts 1 and 2. Now let’s talk about the model zoo, it’s basically a big collection of ready-to-go AI models that people have already trained...

When you spend enough time around life-dependent systems, one thing becomes obvious: safety isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation. If a music app crashes, it’s annoying. If a medical device fails, someone can die. Same story in a car. At highway speed, you’re trusting...
