SolidRun Companions with Hailo for a 20 TOPS Hailo-15H-Powered Edge AI System-on-Module

Embedded {hardware} specialist SolidRun has introduced the discharge of a system-on-module (SOM) constructed across the Hailo-15 neural processing unit (NPU) — bringing as much as 20 tera-operations per second (TOPS) to bear on edge synthetic intelligence (edge AI) and on-device machine studying workloads.

“Our imaginative and prescient at SolidRun has at all times been to simplify the advanced world of embedded techniques and empower engineers to innovate with out constraints,” claims Atai Ziv, PhD, SolidRun’s chief government officer. “Collaborating with Hailo to develop the Hailo-15H SOM, we have launched an built-in resolution that achieves simply that. This market-ready resolution seamlessly combines cutting-edge AI inferencing capabilities with ease of integration, in the end decreasing engineering time and prices. Most significantly, it allows builders and engineers to dedicate their energies completely to realizing their product imaginative and prescient.”

“SolidRun’s SOM primarily based on our Hailo-15H SOC represents a big milestone for in-camera edge AI processing and offers engineers with a compact resolution that delivers unparalleled efficiency and vitality effectivity for a variety of AI imaginative and prescient functions,” provides Hailo’s Yaron Ofer. “Working with SolidRun, we’re capable of empower clients to rapidly unlock the complete potential of AI on the edge, and drive innovation throughout numerous industries.”

Hailo unveiled the Hailo-15 again in March final 12 months, promising as much as 20 tera-operations per second (TOPS) of compute, part-dependent, for on-device machine studying and edge synthetic intelligence (edge AI) workloads — delivering the power, in response to the corporate’s personal testing, to run the ResNet-50 mannequin on-device at 700 frames per second. SolidRun’s final Hailo-equipped system, in the meantime, was the Hummingboard 8P Edge AI combining an NXP i.MX 8M Plus with the older Hailo-8.

SolidRun has confirmed core variants of the Hailo-15 SOM: the Hailo-15M SOM makes use of a lower-end model of the Hailo-15 chip providing 11 TOPS of compute, whereas the Hailo-15H SOM options the top-end 20 TOPS model. Each fashions embrace a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 software processor operating at 1.3GHz, as much as 8GB of LPDDR4 reminiscence, and eMMC storage from 8GB to 256GB alongside a 32Mb QSPI flash module. For community connectivity there’s an on-board dual-band 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0 radio alongside gigabit Ethernet, with USB 3.1 for exterior {hardware}.

The modules embrace a imaginative and prescient subsystem with a dual-camera 12 megapixel picture sign processor (ISP) with {hardware} H.264/H.265 encoder supporting high-dynamic vary (HDR) video and as much as 4k30 footage, two MIPI Digicam Serial Interface (CSI) four-lane ports, and compatibility with the Sony IMX334 and IMX678 picture sensors. There is a four-name MIPI Show Serial Interface (DSI) for video output, Safe Digital Enter/Output (SDIO) assist, audio capabilities, and SPI, I2C, I2S, and UART buses alongside general-purpose enter/output (GPIO) pins introduced out to 3 Hirose DF40 connectors on the board’s underside.

Initially, the Hailo-15 SOMs are solely out there to order as naked modules; the corporate has confirmed plans to launch a Hummingboard IIoT service that includes the modules and bringing out all main options. Pricing for the service bundles and Hailo-15M SOM has but to be confirmed, with orders now open for the Hailo-15H SOM beginning at $149 with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage.

Extra info is accessible on the SolidRun web site, whereas the corporate might be demonstrating the gadgets at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany April Ninth-Eleventh, Corridor 1 Sales space #126, and at ISC West in Las Vegas, April Tenth-Twelfth, Sales space #31065.
