K210 Development Board Kit
The Sipeed MAix K210 Development Board Kit is a powerful device with cutting edge technology.
Edge AI
AI has become ubiquitous in both consumer and enterprise settings. As the number of connected devices continues to rise, there is a greater need for privacy and quick response times, all within limited bandwidth capacities. Consequently, AI models that were once trained in the cloud must now also be utilized at the edge.
MAIX, Sipeed’s purpose-built AI module for the edge, is also known as AIoT. Its compact size and low power consumption make it ideal for deploying high-accuracy AI at the edge, and its competitive price allows for easy integration into any IoT device. Similar to Google’s Edge TPU, MAIX serves as a master controller rather than an accelerator, resulting in a more cost-effective and energy-efficient solution compared to AP edge TPU.
Max offers many benefits and can be used in a variety of situations.
In addition to being a hardware provider, MAIX also offers a comprehensive infrastructure that supports customers in deploying their AI-based solutions from start to finish.
MAIX’s exceptional performance, compact size, energy efficiency, and affordability make it the perfect tool for widespread implementation of advanced AI at the edge.
MAIX offers more than just hardware. It integrates custom hardware, open software, and cutting-edge AI algorithms to deliver exceptional AI solutions that are simple to implement at the edge.
MAIX is a versatile tool with a wide range of industrial applications. These include predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, machine vision, robotics, voice recognition, and more. In addition to manufacturing and on-premise use, MAIX can also be utilized in healthcare, retail, smart spaces, transportation, and other industries.
The CPU of MAix
MAIX boasts a powerful KPU K210 Development Board Kit within its hardware, which provides numerous exciting features:
The RISC-V chip, along with its AI capabilities, was recently released in September 2018.
With a 28nm process and a dual-core RISC-V 64bit IMAFDC, this chip boasts an impressive 8MB on-chip high-speed SRAM. Please note, however, that this is not compatible with XMR :D. Additionally, it can reach a frequency of up to 800MHz while running at 400MHz.
Equipped with the KPU (Neural Network Processor), this advanced technology boasts a 64 KPU with a 576bit width, making it capable of supporting various convolution kernels and activation functions. With an impressive performance of 0.25TOPS at only 0.3W and 400MHz, pushing its limits to 800MHz results in a staggering 0.5TOPS. In practical terms, this translates to the ability to execute object recognition at an impressive rate of 60 frames per second for VGA resolution images.
The APU (Audio Processor) has 8mics and can handle a sample rate of up to 192KHz. It also contains a powerful FFT unit, making it simple to create a Mic Array. This feature is also available from MAIX.
With FPIOA (Field Programmable IO Array) being highly flexible, you have the ability to assign 255 functions to each of the 48 GPIOs on the chip.
With the DVP camera and MCU LCD interface, users have the ability to connect a DVP camera, execute their algorithm, and view the results on an LCD screen.
Some of the additional accelerators and peripherals include the AES Accelerator, SHA256 Accelerator, FFT Accelerator (excluding APU’s), as well as OTP, UART, WDT, IIC, SPI, I2S, TIMER, RTC, PWM, among others.
