Smart parking reference design incorporates machines learning
XMOS announced its reference solution for Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), designed to move ALPR in parking garages away from complex, resource-intensive hardware and towards simple on-device AI. Developed in partnership with computing specialist Cloudtop, the reference design can read slow-moving license plates at a distance of 3-5 meters with high accuracy. Thanks to […]
Voice processors for smart home devices provide audio echo cancellation
Built on XMOS’ xcore.ai chip infrastructure, the XVF3610 and XVF3615 offer industry-leading voice processing solutions in a cost-effective and easy-to-integrate package. The designs mark an evolution of the XVF3510 voice processor already used within Amazon Alexa systems and provide powerful audio echo cancellation (AEC) and interference cancellation algorithms to suppress noise from dominant sources and enable […]
Symmetric multiprocessing version of FreeRTOS becomes available
XMOS, in partnership with Amazon, announces the release of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) FreeRTOS, enabling electronics manufacturers to build complex embedded systems faster and more easily than ever before. With significant contributions from XMOS and other partners, this all-new SMP version marks a step-change in the capabilities of the FreeRTOS kernel, with verification and maintenance provided […]
SDK for AIoT includes freeRTOS libraries
XMOS announces its all-new software development kit (SDK) for the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT). Incorporating TensorFlowLite for Microcontroller development tools, the SDK is designed to harness xcore.ai’s versatility and make it easier for engineers to develop connected products that can sense, think, decide, and act. The kit equips developers with standardized tools and resources […]
Budget-priced AI MCU combines machine learning with scalar, floating, fixed-point and vector instructions
A new processor called xcore.ai for the AIoT market delivers high-performance AI, DSP, control and IO in a single device with prices from $1. Traditionally this type of capability would be deployed either through a powerful (and costly) applications processor or a microcontroller with additional components to accelerate key capabilities. However, the new xcore.ai crossover […]
Development kit enables engineers to build voice interface
XMOS has jointly developed a new voice interface development kit, “codama”, with Yukai Engineering and NTT DOCOMO. The “codama” voice interface development kit includes the XMOS VocalFusion XVF3100 voice processor; it enables AI engineers and developers to build a voice interface with NTT DOCOMO “AI Agent API” into their products. This technology brings people the freedom […]
