Lattice sensAI is a comprehensive solution stack designed to simplify the development and deployment of AI/ML models for low-power edge applications[2]. This innovative toolkit leverages the flexibility and efficiency of Lattice FPGAs to enable rapid creation of AI-powered devices at the network edge[5].
The sensAI stack comprises several key components:
- Hardware platforms
- IP cores
- Software tools
- Reference designs
At the heart of sensAI is the new sensAI Studio, a GUI-based design environment that facilitates end-to-end AI/ML model training, validation, and compilation[2]. This web-based framework supports multiple users collaborating on projects and allows easy configuration of target FPGAs, I/Os, and AI/ML models through a drag-and-drop interface[2].
Key features of the Lattice sensAI solution include:
- Support for TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite models
- Advanced techniques like transfer learning
- Compatibility with the Lattice Propel design environment for RISC-V processor development
- Optimized performance, enabling image processing at 60 FPS (QVGA) or 30 FPS (VGA)[2]
The sensAI stack is particularly well-suited for resource-constrained edge devices, where power efficiency and performance are critical[2]. It provides developers with the flexibility to adapt to new sensor types, network architectures, and operators, ensuring that edge AI applications can evolve with the rapidly changing AI landscape[2].
By offering a complete toolkit from hardware to software, Lattice sensAI empowers developers to quickly bring innovative AI-enabled products to market, maintaining a competitive edge in the fast-paced world of edge AI and machine learning[5].
