Lattice, NVIDIA Collaborate on Edge AI

Field programmable gate array (FPGA) developer Lattice Semiconductor has introduced a reference sensor-bridging design that aims accelerate the development of edge AI applications using the NVIDIA Jetson Orin and IGX Orin platforms. Based on power-efficient Lattice FPGAs and NVIDIA Orin, the open-source reference board is designed to address developers’ needs for connectivity to a variety of sensors and interfaces, design scalability, and low latency when designing high-performance edge AI applications for healthcare, robotics, and embedded vision.

Lattice’s collaboration with NVIDIA is set to expand the open-source developer community by improving the efficiency of connecting sensors to edge AI compute applications.

The Lattice FPGA-based reference board is available for early-access. Lattice plans to make the board and application examples more broadly available in the first half of 2024.

Glossary

integrated photonics: Integrated photonics is a field of study and technology that involves the integration of optical components, such as lasers, modulators, detectors, and waveguides, on a single chip or substrate. The goal of integrated photonics is to miniaturize and consolidate optical elements in a manner similar to the integration of electronic components on a microchip in traditional integrated circuits. Key aspects of integrated photonics include: Miniaturization: Integrated photonics aims to...
embedded vision: Embedded vision refers to the integration of computer vision technologies into various embedded systems, devices, or machines. Computer vision involves teaching machines to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like human vision. Embedded vision takes this concept and applies it to systems where the processing occurs locally within the device, as opposed to relying on external servers or cloud-based services. Key components of embedded vision systems include: ...
machine vision: Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
