Taiwanese fabless chip maker MediaTek Wednesday said it has teamed up with Tessolve, a Hero Electronix venture, to work towards the development of an Edge-AI enabled smart device ecosystem.
Tessolve also launched the MAGIK2 family nano System-on-Module (SoM) and evaluation board powered by the MediaTek i500 to power next-generation AI smart devices with edge processing, multimedia capabilities, multiple high-resolution cameras, AI-enabled kiosks, connected touchscreen displays, and multitasking operating system (OS).
Coming to the MediaTek i500, it is an edge-processing Artificial Intelligence of Things AIoT platform with an integrated AI processor that uses quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 and quad-core Cortex A-53 processors, equipped with NEON engines, featuring 1MB L2 cache with frequencies up to 2GHz, while Arm TrustZone security enables the creation of secure devices.
“We are enabling the future of AI, by creating an ecosystem of Edge-AI hardware processing paired with comprehensive software tools across our product range… Our collaboration with Tessolve will power advanced AI-enabled devices and premium experiences, along with reducing development costs and accelerating the time to market,” said Raghavan Sampath, Director – Business Development, MediaTek.
The Tessolve SoM also supports the common Software Development Kit (SDK) software from BayLibre, MediaTek’s software scaling partner which will improve time to market for customers by providing a single SDK across all AIoT hardware platforms.
“The collaboration will enable the roll-out of production-ready AIoT hardware and Android software to help customers reduce their product development cycle time from design to manufacturing of portable, home, and commercial IoT applications,” said Sunil Walia, SVP of Sales & Marketing, Tessolve.
