Chapter 1
Introduction
The purpose of this design guide is to support hardware, system, and firmware engineers
implementing a product using a Xilinx
®
Kria™ SOM. The guide outlines electrical, mechanical,
firmware, and power-on configuration design considerations that must be addressed as part of
designing a Xilinx SOM compatible carrier card. The document is not intended to be self-
contained, meaning that there are references to other Xilinx product documentation to help the
reader find more detailed technical information available in corresponding technical reference
manuals, software design guides, and thermal design guides. The Kria K26 SOM is used an
example throughout the guide and is shown in the following block diagram.
