Distribution kit

The Kaspersky Neuromorphic Platform has several distribution kit options. You can choose the option that best suits your objectives for the platform.

The Docker image knp-build-image is also provided for building the platform or an application. The Docker image must be downloaded from the Docker Hub repository.
