It uses a brand-new multi-heterogeneous unit accelerated computing +structure. + +This chip has 2 RISC-V computing cores and a new-generation KPU (Knowledge +Process Unit) smart computing unit. + +It has multi-precision AI computing ability, works with many common AI computing +frameworks, and for some typical networks, its usage rate is over 70%. Besides, +the K230 chip supports many peripheral connections and has several special +hardware acceleration units (like 2D and 2.5D accelerators). It can speed up +different tasks (such as image processing, video processing, audio processing +and AI computing). It also has many good features: low delay, high performance, +low power use and fast start-up. + +For more information, see <https://www.kendryte.com/en/proDetail/230> + +Supported devices +----------------- +The ``k230`` machine supports the following devices: + +* 1 c908 cores +* Core Local Interruptor (CLINT) +* Incoming MSI Controller (IMSIC) +* 2 K230 Watchdog Timer +* 4 UART + +Boot options +------------ +The ``k230`` machine can start using the standard ``-bios`` +functionality for loading the boot image. You need to compile and link +the firmware, kernel, and Device Tree (FDT) into a single binary file with +K230 SDK(k230_canmv_defconfig), such as ``uboot``. + +Running +------- +Below is an example command line for running the ``k230`` +machine: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ qemu-system-riscv64 -machine k230 \ + -bios k230_sdk/output/k230_canmv_defconfig/little/uboot/u-boot \ + -nographic -- 2.51.0
