At Fidus, we are thrilled to announce our participation in Embedded World North America 2024 and the AMD Adaptive Computing Summit 2024, where we will be showcasing our expertise in AMD’s latest Embedded+ Architecture – combining embedded processors with adaptive SoCs to accelerate time to market for edge AI applications.
A first of its kind, this new architectural solution combines AMD Ryzen™ Embedded processors with Versal Adaptive SoCs onto a single integrated board and is designed for critical AI inferencing and sensor fusion applications. It also allows system designers to choose from an ecosystem of ODM board offerings based on the Embedded+ architecture.
Fidus has spent the last couple of weeks working extensively with AMD on the first ODM solution based on the Sapphire Edge+ VPR-4616 , a low-power Mini-ITX form factor motherboard from Sapphire Technology, and is excited to now showcase the energy efficiency and performant computing capabilities available with this solution – by leveraging the best aspects of each embedded technology.

Our development team has been working hard developing an exciting demo using AMD’s Embedded+ architecture, which integrates the powerful Versal AI adaptive SoCs with an AMD Ryzen x86 processor. This demo will showcase our expertise in both software and FPGA design, illustrating the seamless interaction between these components to accelerate workloads and optimize system performance. We’re eager to display this cutting-edge system at major upcoming events, including AMD’s EMEA Versal Roadshow and Embedded World North America.
The focus of the demo is to highlight how the Versal processor can offload and accelerate tasks when paired with an x86 processor. The system’s flexibility is designed to cater to industries such as healthcare, industrial, and vision applications. We’re exploring demonstrations such as comparing encryption performance between x86 and FPGA, sensor fusion, and real-time video processing, which all emphasize the power and efficiency of this architecture. This demo not only underscores our capabilities but also exemplifies the transformative potential of Embedded+ in various sectors.
