Synopsys’s Embedded Vision

In the shadow of the recent Embedded Vision Alliance summit, Synopsys tossed its hat into the vision ring with their new Embedded Vision Development System. While it doesn’t appear to break any new ground in terms of tools or things that didn’t exist before, it does assemble into one place a variety of components that an aspiring embedded vision architect/designer might need.

One of the underlying assumptions is that, in order to meet the performance and cost requirements of embedded vision, which holds promise for much consumer gadgetry, an application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) is needed. In other words, you need to tailor a processor to this application and ensure that the instruction set is customized to handle frequent vision-related operations efficiently. The technology Synopsys acquired through CoWare figures into this part of the solution.

The other assumption is that you’re going to need to prototype this stuff in FPGAs to optimize the architecture before committing to silicon.

So their kit includes:

–          A ported OpenCV library

–          A C/C++ compiler and runtime environment

–          A basic RISC processor that can be modified using their Processor Designer tool

–          A HAPS prototyping system

You can find more info in their announcement.

Matter & NXP
Interoperability in our growing Internet of things ecosystem has been a challenge for years. But the new Matter standard is looking to change all of that. It could not only make homes smarter but our design lives easier as well. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Sujata Neidig from NXP examine how Matter will revolutionize IoT by increasing interoperability, simplifying development and providing a comprehensive approach to security and privacy. They also discuss what the roadmap for Matter looks like and how NXP’s Matter reference platforms can help you get started with your next IoT design.
