Enables Designers to Quickly Implement AI in
IoT Devices
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low
power programmable leader, today announced the availability of the
HM01B0 UPduino Shield, a comprehensive development kit for
implementing AI in devices using vision and sound as sensory
inputs. This rapid prototyping board, in the Arduino form factor,
includes components designers need to quickly develop always-on,
low power smart IoT devices.
This new development kit consists of a Lattice iCE40 UltraPlus™
FPGA-based Upduino 2.0 board and a Himax HM01B0 image sensor
module. Optimized for IoT devices and embedded AI applications, the
iCE40 UltraPlus FPGA is one of world’s smallest, lowest power
distributed processing solutions, with power consumption as low as
75 µW in sleep mode and 1-10mA when active. The iCE40 UltraPlus
also supports I/O port configuration flexibility, including the
ability to combine multiple signals for transmission over one port.
This flexibility helps designers easily investigate and experiment
with different designs and to accelerate product prototyping.
Proof-of-concept demos such as Human Presence Detection and Hand
Gesture Detection are included in this modular hardware platform to
further simplify and accelerate vision-based AI systems.
“The Upduino Shield development kit offers substantial
flexibility to product developers by making the addition of
vision-based AI support to IoT-connected devices quick and easy,”
said Peiju Chiang, Product Marketing Manager at Lattice
Semiconductor. “And because the kit uses our low-power iCE
UltraPlus FPGA, adding AI support to IoT products is possible
without significant increase in product power consumption, a key
requirement for IoT devices operating at the network Edge.”
Key features of the UPduino Shield development kit include:
- Lattice UltraPlus FPGA with 5.3K LUTs,
1 Mb SPRAM, 120 Kb DPRAM, 8 Multipliers
- FTDI FT232H USB to SPI Device for FPGA
programming
- 12 Mhz Crystal Oscillator Clock
Source
- 34 GPIOs on 0.1” headers for connecting
to the adapter board
- SPI Flash, RGB LED, 3.3 V and 1.2 V
voltage regulators
- Can be used with the new Lattice
Radiant® Design Software 1.1
- Priced at under $50 USD to enable broad
adoption
