- Increasing Flexibility with Open Hardware and AI Tools for IoT
Edge AI Development
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SensiML™ Corporation, a leader
in AI software for IoT and a subsidiary of QuickLogic (NASDAQ:
QUIK), today announced the integration of RISC-V® processor
support* within its comprehensive AI development tool
suite. This addition offers developers unmatched flexibility in
building intelligent, resource-constrained edge devices with AI/ML
sensor data processing.
The open-source nature of the RISC-V architecture aligns with
SensiML's commitment to transparent, accessible, and customizable
solutions for the IoT market. With RISC-V support, developers can
now use SensiML's open-source Piccolo AI™ AutoML tool to create
ultra-efficient machine learning models tailored to specific
applications using fully open-source hardware and software.
Expanding Hardware Choices for IoT Innovators
RISC-V's open-source processor design and SensiML's open-source
Piccolo AI toolchain empower developers to design and deploy edge
AI solutions with complete control over their product architecture.
This combination also unlocks RISC-V's unique advantages in cost,
customization, and scalability. According to a recent market
forecast from Omdia, RISC-V processors are poised for significant
growth, ramping from just under 1% market share in 2020 to nearly
25% of global processors sold by 2030.
"By supporting RISC-V, we're giving our customers more choice
and flexibility in implementing AI on IoT edge devices," said
Chris Rogers, CEO of SensiML. "As
the only fully open-source AutoML development tool for edge AI,
Piccolo AI allows developers to harness the full potential of
RISC-V and other architectures to build high-performance,
resource-efficient solutions for their specific needs."
Open-Source Synergy for Edge AI Development
RISC-V's open architecture and collaborative hardware innovation
align well with SensiML's vision for open collaboration in AI
software tools for IoT edge devices. RISC-V provides a
cost-effective foundation for processor cores, while SensiML's
Piccolo AI offers a transparent AutoML workflow for developing
machine learning models at the edge. Together, they create a
powerful, end-to-end platform for unique and optimized IoT
products.
With RISC-V support, SensiML takes another step toward
democratizing AI for IoT developers. The RISC-V instruction set
architecture (ISA) is freely available to anyone seeking to use,
implement, or modify it, and supports customization for
applications that demand highly optimized SoCs as often required in
remote edge sensing devices. This addition offers unprecedented
flexibility and transparency, allowing developers to build IoT
products on their terms.
