AMR - Adaptive Management Runtime

1. Introduction

Adaptive Management Runtime (AMR) is the next-generation platform software stack for Alveo V80 and RAVE product lines designed to enable a more modular, software-defined approach to system bring-up and device management. In contrast to the legacy AVED model (for V80) - where platform initialization, management functions, and programmable logic (PL) were tightly coupled within a single, static configuration - AMR decouples control, configuration, and application layers through a lightweight runtime and mailbox-based communication model. This allows the platform to boot with minimal dependencies and dynamically load or reconfigure functionality (such as PL images) at runtime. The result is improved flexibility for partial and segmented configurations, more robust system control without reliance on PL-based mechanisms, and a clearer separation between infrastructure and application logic. For users, this translates into faster iteration, easier integration into automated workflows, and a more scalable foundation for deploying and managing Alveo V80 and RAVE systems in production environments.

For more detailed information on architecture, APIs, and usage guides, see AMR Docs.
