New Edge AI evaluation kit accelerates ML development

The new PSoC 6 AI Evaluation Kit provides all the tools required to build intelligent consumer, smart home, and IoT applications. The solution executes inferencing next to the sensor data source, providing such user benefits as enhanced real-time performance and power efficiency compared to cloud-centric solution architectures. Its small 35 x 45mm form factor, affordable cost, and broad range of integrated sensors and connectivity make it the perfect choice for in-field data collection, rapid prototyping, model evaluation, and solution creation. 

The PSoC 6 AI Evaluation Kit also leverages Infineon’s advanced microcontroller (MCU), sensor, and connectivity portfolios and powerful software development environments, including the Infineon ModusToolbox and the company’s Imagimob Studio offering for custom ML models, as well as off-the-shelf Ready Models.

“Infineon is helping drive the evolution of Edge AI, which requires the real-time compute capability and power-efficiency that distinguish our hardware portfolio, along with development tools that simplify and speed application development,” said Steve Tateosian, SVP of IoT, industrial and consumer microcontrollers, Infineon Technologies. “With our newest evaluation kit, we are offering access to a complete, easy-to-use ecosystem of Infineon hardware and software that will accelerate development and deployment of intelligent solutions in consumer, smart home, commercial, and industrial IoT applications.”

The new AI Evaluation Kit is a vital complement to Infineon’s complete AI technology solutions, including:

• The right hardware for Edge AI models. The evaluation kit, based on the Infineon PSoC 6 MCU, supports development using the company’s wide portfolio of XENSIV products for automotive, industrial and consumer applications, as well as connectivity including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) solutions.
• AI models and tools for a wide variety of applications. With Imagimob Studio, developers can move to production fast. The platform is free to use (users only pay for new models once they launch in their product) and makes it easy to build high quality AI models from scratch or optimise existing models. Imagimob Ready Models even make AI models available to companies without the time, cost, or machine learning know-how needed to create custom models.
