Alif Semiconductor Ensemble® AK-E7-AIML Application Kit

Alif Semiconductor Ensemble® AK-E7-AIML Application Kit enables rapid software development and evaluation for endpoint Machine Learning (ML) use cases in a power-efficient manner. This kit comes pre-configured with everything the user needs to collect vision, voice, and vibration data to feed the Machine Learning models. The  AK-E7-AIML kit also includes a rich collection of pre-built applications and demos of various endpoint ML use cases. This kit features a 4.3” color LCD, an integrated camera module that can be configured for a selfie or viewfinder orientation, and an inertial motion sensor. The AK-E7-AIML kit also features PDM and I2S microphones.

The AppKit can be configured to operate as any of the 32-bit E3, E5, or E7 series MCU or fusion processor devices in the Ensemble family. The superset E7 device installed on the kit has two Cortex-M55 CPU cores and two Ethos-U55 neural network processor cores. the device also includes two Cortex-A32 MPU cores, 13.5MB SRAM, and 5.5MB non-volatile on-chip memory. Connectivity is provided using Wi-Fi®/BLE through an included wireless module and USB-HS.
