03 Dezember 2020 - 10:10AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax”), a leading
supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other
semiconductor products, today announced its WE-I Plus EVB, an
Endpoint AI Development Board that incorporates Himax’s ultralow
power HX6537-A WE-I Plus AI processor and HM0360 always-on image
sensor, is now available at SparkFun, a specialized online retail
store which caters to diverse demands from developers for Endpoint
AI deployment.
High performance Endpoint AI solution with ultralow
power consumption The WE-I Plus processor is designed to
accommodate a wide selection of TinyML Neural Network models with
programmable DSP running up to 400MHz clock and 2MB internal SRAM.
WE-I Plus supports TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers framework
and is able to run inferences such as open-source Google Examples,
including “Hello World”, “Micro Speech”, “Person Detection”, and
“Magic Wand”, all available at Google’s GitHub. It is fully
optimized in computer vision applications and has demonstrated to
be among the lowest in power consumption using the “Person
Detection” example. WE-I Plus, coupled with Himax’s VGA sensor,
runs the example inference and operates in power consumption as low
as 2.5mW with model inference time of less than 35ms.
TinyML developer friendly Endpoint AI Development Board
at SparkFunDevelopers now get easy access to Himax’s
leading technologies with WE-I Plus EVB available at the SparkFun
online retail store for Endpoint AI system development, ultimately
enabling the innovation of life-changing use cases. The all-in-one
WE-I Plus EVB includes AI processor, HM0360 AoS VGA camera, 2
microphones and a 3-axis accelerometer to perform vision, voice,
and vibration detection and recognition. It builds in FTDI
USB-to-SPI/ I2C/ UART bridge for flash programming interfacing and
message/ debug print/ metadata output. It also features two LEDs to
illustrate classification results. In addition, an expansion header
with I2C and GPIOs interface is offered to allow connections to
external sensors or devices. Datasheets of EVB, processor and
sensors are available for download on the SparkFun website.
