EET Asia Article: Edge Intelligence The Focus At Embedded World

Nothing is beyond the limits of our imagination anymore, and what we are used to seeing in spy movies needs a massive upgrade, in order to go beyond what is now considered the norm. This was evident at Embedded World 2019, where the focus was edge intelligence and internet of things (IoT) security.
There were cameras everywhere capturing images, with demos showing each vendor’s capability in neural network processing, inference, and doing something with the information — including smart retail and surveillance. It seemed that everyone was saying: “See how much intelligence we can pack in the camera or sensor or edge-of-network system and see what we can do with it.”
The RISC-V ecosystem was also in full force at Embedded World, showing its presence for embedded edge devices. Imagination Technologies announced a partnership with Andes Technology, the RISC-V based CPU IP provider specializing in low-power, high-performance 32-bit and 64-bit processor IP cores. They are working together to integrate the new N22 RISC-V MCU IP from Andes with Ensigma low-power IP for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4 and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to provide a fully integrated, off-the-shelf solution for the IoT market.
