Introduction

The integration of machine vision capabilities with the KR260 board and the Sony IMX547 Camera presents a powerful solution for image processing applications. This tutorial revisits the deployment process outlined in the official documentation here, providing step-by-step instructions to accelerate your setup.

Installation of Ubuntu on KR260

Begin by installing the official Ubuntu image for KR260 on a new SD card. You will find the image here.

Download the Balena Etcher (recommended; available for Windows, Linux, and macOS). Follow the instructions in the tool and select the downloaded image to flash onto your

Are you ready to embark on a nostalgic adventure, where vintage gaming like the NES meets cutting-edge technology?

In this electrifying tutorial, we’ll take you on a journey through time, guiding you step by step as you transform your FPGA board into a portal to the past. Say goodbye to tedious button mashing on emulators and embrace the authentic experience of playing NES games on actual hardware.

But wait, there’s more! We won’t just leave you hanging with a bunch of technical jargon. We’ll provide you with a treasure trove of resources,

Introduction

This article will talk about the Ultrasound Ultrafast Imaging modality on the new AMD-Xilinx Versal chip. The work described here is an implementation by MakarenaLabs for AMD-Xilinx and is currently in early access for customers.

To begin with, we will briefly introduce the UltraFast methodology and what does it mean.

Secondly we are going to talk about Versal and how to create and partition design on this new technology.

Lastly we are going to talk about the Ultrasound Libraries on the new Versal chip and how to exploit them.

UltraFast Imaging is a

Introduction

In this article we aim to introduce a possible solution for solving the 3D reconstruction problem. We will take advantage of the 3D Vision to reconstruct the object starting from a set Point Cloud which represents different views of the object. Firstly, we will start by detailing the difference between standard computer vision (2D) and 3D vision.

Secondly, we will detail the different stages of reconstruction, explaining a little bit about the algorithm used and different possible implementation choices. As a reference library, we are going to use the Point Cloud

Introduction

3D printing is a very interesting topic for every startup and company, both for the creation of proof of concept, both for very specific unusual parts, such as 3d hair printing.

In our company, we use the 3D printer several times to print the most varied things: we create and print custom cases for boards, joints for robotic parts, humanoid robot parts, gadgets, etc … For example, take a look at our article about an IoT application with a custom case: https://www.makarenalabs.com/nebul-iot-a-simple-embedded-smart-device-for-greenhouse/

We also use different materials for different purposes, for example:

Introduction

During many events, both sporting and not, it is necessary to have a scoreboard in order to manage the progress of a match.

We noticed that there is neither a solution nor a demo that illustrates on video a dynamic tournament bracket which has different states in addition to the simple list of players.

To fill this gap we created a series of programs using the simplicity of Socket as a communication tool. To create tournament bracket we used:

Angular 7
Visual Basic .net4.6
Node.js v.10

The manager and socket comunication

We wrote the backend manager used for
