Infineon Technologies has announced a partnership with Edge Impulse to expand its edge artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and offer a wider range of platforms for machine learning-based models for Bluetooth customers. This collaboration will allow developers of AI-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) applications to build edge machine learning applications using the Edge Impulse Studio environment for deployment on the PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE microcontroller (MCU).
The PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU is a high-performance, low-power microcontroller that offers 150 MHz Arm CPU performance and a range of peripheral options. With its built-in hardware-based security and advanced processing capabilities, it is well-suited for edge IoT applications that require the ability to run advanced machine learning algorithms.
Edge Impulse’s products streamline the entire process of collecting and structuring data sets, designing algorithms, validating models, and deploying the results to edge targets such as the PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU. By partnering with Edge Impulse, Infineon customers can bring their solutions to market faster for embedded AI/ML use cases.
We are thrilled to add Edge Impulse to our growing partner network, said Shantanu Bhalerao, Vice President of the Bluetooth Product Line at Infineon. Infineon is committed to enabling our customers to develop their own AI/ML models or use predefined models available from Infineon or our valuable partners. The PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU combined with Edge Impulse’s platform empowers developers to quickly develop and deploy powerful solutions for an exciting range of edge machine learning applications.
Zach Shelby, CEO and co-founder of Edge Impulse, highlighted the PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU’s advanced processing capabilities and low power consumption, making it an ideal platform for the next generation of edge devices. Matched with the Edge Impulse platform, embedded developers can more quickly develop and deploy powerful solutions for an exciting range of edge machine learning applications, he said.
