AMD Versal Prime Gen 2 and AI Edge Gen 2 Adaptive SoCs
Unleash next-level scalar compute and End-to-end acceleration for embedded AI.
Enabling Airborne Platforms Including Civil, Military, and Unmanned Systems
AMD has established use in certified platforms and offers data to address avionics certification of the multi-core processing system within AMD Adaptive SoCs.
Avionics Functional Safety
AMD invests in functional safety certifications for industrial and automotive applications requiring compliance with IEC 61508 and ISO 26262, in addition to reliability and quality initiatives. The functional safety certifications complement the use of AMD devices in Avionics.
Certified DO-254 & DO-178 Solutions
Through collaboration with technology leaders, industry experts, and the user community, AMD offers a comprehensive ecosystem of DO-254 and DO-178 certification solutions and expertise, helping developers reduce the cost, risk, and time to market of next-generation Avionics.
Applications
UAV / Drone and Other Applications Support
AMD and Topic Embedded collaborated to bring to market a UAV and Robotics Platform (URP) which enables a full host of capabilities required in such applications. The URP is built on the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSOC ZU7EV or Zynq UltraScale+ ZU5EV device. The expansive feature set is offered in a compact single board. This platform is fully software programmable, delivered with the core infrastructure of embedded software and drivers and programmable logic IP platform.
Mission Computers
As future airborne mission computer requirements demand increased computing and networking capabilities, the requirements for safety and security continue to be pillars of avionics. AMD meets the security and safety needs from the efficient Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC to the high performing AMD Versal™ Series Gen 2 devices. AMD continues its legacy in product leadership, with the AMD Versal Prime Series Gen 2 devices expected to offer up to a 10x leap in scalar compute over prior generation devices while offering next generation safety and security features which support mixed criticality and isolation.1
Displays and Visualization
Driving 4K60 displays becomes reality with AMD Versal Series Gen 2 adaptive SoC devices. These devices support safety-critical display applications and are capable of separate hard partitions or lock-step modes. Combine partitions to help maximize performance or enable multi-context support. Unlock more potential when pre-processing camera inputs via dedicated Image Signal Processors (ISPs) or servicing 4K video compression needs with the Video Codec Unit (VCU).
AI/ML
Leverage heterogeneous compute acceleration optimized for advanced machine learning workloads on AMD Versal AI Edge and Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 with AMD Vitis™ AI. AMD AI-enabled platforms and AI development tools ensure real-time performance for intelligent and machine learning augmented systems targeting object detection, identification and tracking, GPS-denied navigation, and predictive maintenance.

Footnotes
- Based on AMD testing in August 2025, using the Drystone Benchmarking code benchmark test on the AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2, 8 Arm Cortex-A78AE processor with application cores @ 2.2 GHz, and AMD Versal Prime Series Gen 2, 10 Arm Cortex-R52 processor with real-time cores @1.05 GHz compared to the published combined total DMIPs / scalar compute specification of of 1st Gen AMD Versal AI Edge Series and Versal Prime Series devices. Testing for Gen 2 devices performed at the highest available speed grade(s), 0.88V PS operating voltage, split-mode operation, and the maximum supported operating frequency. Processor manufacturers may vary configurations, yielding different results. Results may vary based a variety of factors, including by device, device configuration, and operating conditions. (VER-104)
