XMOS launches SDK for the 'artificial intelligence of things'

XMOS (Bristol, UK) has launched an all-new software development kit (SDK) for its xcore.ai The SDK includes TensorFlowLite for Microcontroller development tools and provides standardised tools and resources that they need to create devices that absorb contextual data from their environment, infer meaning from that data, and translate the results into action. Scripts, tools and libraries to convert TensorFlowLite for Microcontroller models into a format that targets accelerated operations on the xcore.ai The SDK includes examples showing a variety of operations based on bare-metal and FreeRTOS operation, including smart microphone sensing, as well as guides, example builds and execution walkthroughs, and access to XMOS' open-source libraries of interfaces & signal processing algorithms These tools will enable developers to rapidly deploy custom or off-the-shelf AI models using a standard framework alongside all of the control, communications, signal and I/O processing required to create a complete and secure application solution. "Our AIoT SDK enables developers to create intelligent endpoint-AI solutions for a huge variety of applications," said Mark Lippett, CEO of XMOS.
