Description

AMD Versal adaptive SoCs offer a combination of scalar and vector processing resources along with traditional FPGA logic gates, memory and DSP resources, providing highly capable platforms for integration of dense signal processing and AI inferencing in space-flight applications. In this presentation we review the latest qualification and radiation data for the AMD XQR Versal adaptive SoC devices, and look at how their reconfigurable heterogeneous computing resources enable demanding applications such as digital beamforming, STAP radar processing, and spacecraft telemetry anomaly detection to be performed on orbit.
