Infineon unveils PSoC 6 AI evaluation kit

PSoC 6

Infineon Technologies has released a comprehensive evaluation kit designed for embedded Edge AI and ML system designs. The new PSoC 6 AI Evaluation Kit provides all the tools necessary to build intelligent consumer, smart home, and IoT applications. This solution performs inferencing next to the sensor data source, delivering enhanced real-time performance and power efficiency compared to cloud-centric architectures.

Its small 35mm x 45mm form factor, inexpensive cost, and wide range of integrated sensors and connectivity options make it the ideal choice for in-field data collection, rapid prototyping, model evaluation, and solution creation. The kit leverages Infineon’s advanced MCU, sensor, and connectivity portfolios along with powerful software development environments such as the Infineon ModusToolbox and Imagimob Studio, which offers custom ML models and ready-made solutions. “Infineon is helping drive the evolution of Edge AI, which requires the real-time compute capability and power efficiency that distinguish our hardware portfolio, along with development tools that simplify and speed application development,” said Steve Tateosian, Senior Vice President of IoT, industrial and consumer microcontrollers at Infineon Technologies.

Infineon’s comprehensive Edge AI solution

“With our newest evaluation kit, we are offering access to a complete, easy-to-use ecosystem of Infineon hardware and software that will accelerate the development and deployment of intelligent solutions in consumer, smart home, commercial, and industrial IoT applications.”

The new AI Evaluation Kit is a vital addition to the company’s complete AI technology solutions. It includes hardware necessary for Edge AI models, based on the Infineon PSoC 6 MCU, and supports development utilizing the company’s wide portfolio of XENSIV products for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and BLE solutions. With Imagimob Studio, developers can quickly move to production. The platform is free to use, with costs only incurred for new models launched with the product, enabling the creation of high-quality AI models from scratch or optimization of existing models.

Imagimob Ready Models provide AI models for companies, saving time, cost, and the need for extensive machine learning expertise.
