Initial setup configuration

In this chapter is explained how to setup the hardware to run the example on the AMD Kria™ KV260 board. There are some preliminary steps in order to have the setup completely up and running, that they are described in the section below.

Preliminary actions

At this step, you should have completed all the requirements provided in the section Hardware & Software requirements. If so, you should have this setup:

• An AMD Kria™ KV260 board with the flashed SD card using the image provided by MakarenaLabs;
• The Demo 3 Development Kit provided by onsemi with the AR0830CS RGB-IR sensor installed on board and its own USB 3.0 cable;
• The dot projector in the right position as near as possible to the 2D sensor;
• Your FullHD monitor and the keyboard/mouse kit connected to the AMD Kria™ KV260;

Image File Installation

Install the OS following these steps:

Windows version

1. Download the MakarenaLabs image. They are some files to be merged together with 7Zip;
2. Merge the downloaded image files into a single image file;
3. Verify the SHA-256 hash of the image file. This will ensure that no errors occurred in the transmission and merge of the files:
   1. Click Search and run powershell. (Note: cmd will not work);
   2. Navigate to the directory containing the image file;
   3. Enter Get-FileHash <filename>;
   4. Wait 15 to 30 seconds;
   5. The hash value will appear;
4. Flash the MakarenaLabs image file to the microSD card with Balena Etcher. It must be flashed as a boot image;

Linux version

1. Download the MakarenaLabs image. They are some files to be merged together with 7Zip;
2. Merge the downloaded image files into a single image file;
3. Verify the SHA-256 hash of the image file. This will ensure that no errors occurred in the transmission and merge of the files:
   1. Open the terminal searching on the Linux drawer Terminal or typing Ctrl+Alt+T;
   2. Navigate to the directory containing the image file;
   3. Enter sha256sum <filename>;
   4. Wait 15 to 30 seconds;
   5. The hash value will appear;
4. Flash the MakarenaLabs image file to the microSD card with Balena Etcher. It must be flashed as a boot image;

You can check here the integrity of the image file writing in the field the hash value you got in the step 3.5 of the previous list:

If the checksum validation is passed, the image is successfully flashed, and you can continue with the next steps.

Board connection

Now, you are ready to start up the board. To do so, insert the newly flashed SD card into the AMD Kria™ KV260 and connect the HDMI cable into the dedicated port. Now, you can connect the power cable to the connector to boot up the board.

NOTE: insert the HDMI cable before the power connector, otherwise you cannot be able to see anything on the screen. So, the steps are:

1. Insert the flashed SD card;
2. Connect the AMD Kria™ KV260 to your monitor via HDMI cable;
3. Connect the power supply to the board in order to power it.

When the Kria boots, please check the three LEDs near the fan. The center light should blink and the other two lights should be solid when the board has successfully booted. You should be now in the login screen of Ubuntu 22.04.

Log into the ubuntu account using the password makarenalabs. Now, you should see the desktop.

At this step, you are ready to connect the onsemi Demo3 Development Kit to one of the USB port of the AMD Kria™ KV260 and wait it to be ready (it takes more or less 10 seconds). The board is ready when the LEDs placed behind are lit in fixed position, as shown in the image below.

Now you can connect also the ams OSRAM dot projector.

At this step, you are ready to run the SmartLock Core solution! Go next to know how to do so.
