- Integrates New SiLabs SoC AI Accelerated SoCs in SensiML
Analytics Toolkit Design Flow
- Speeds Processing and Reduces Power Consumption for AI/ML
Applications
PORTLAND, Ore., April 27,
2022 /PRNewswire/
-- SensiML™ Corporation, a leading developer
of AI tools for building intelligent Internet of Things (IoT)
endpoints, today announced it has added support for Silicon Labs'
new MG24 and BG24 Series 2 Bluetooth® wireless SoCs within its
SensiML Analytics Toolkit embedded development software. The MG24
and BG24 are noteworthy for their inclusion of a specialized AI
accelerator and co-optimized TensorFlow library as part of these
Matter-ready wireless SoCs for IoT edge applications.

SensiML provides embedded edge AI tools with the most complete
end-to-end AI workflow addressing all aspects of AI development
from advanced data collection and labeling to code generation and
validation; and now extends its powerful yet easy-to-use AutoML
software to these latest Silicon Labs AI accelerated SoCs. With
support for the MG24 and BG24 AI accelerator, SensiML can
deliver highly optimized performance up to 4x faster at one sixth
the power for applications that utilize the TensorFlow Lite neural
network classifier engine. These attributes are particularly
valuable for audio, high data-rate sensors, and battery-powered IoT
sensor applications, which are becoming ubiquitous.
The SensiML Analytics Toolkit provides a complete solution for
creating AI/ML based designs targeted for intelligent IoT devices.
The toolkit complements the AI acceleration capabilities built into
the Silicon Labs MG24 and BG24 SoCs – allowing developers to
quickly create sophisticated, low power intelligent IoT endpoints.
SensiML's tools also dramatically reduce development complexity by
automating the design flow and optimizing the resulting firmware to
deliver high quality results while keeping the memory and power
footprint as small as possible.
Applications which can particularly benefit from the combined
SensiML and Silicon Labs solution include acoustic event detection,
motion analysis, gesture and keyword recognition, anomaly
detection, and predictive maintenance.
"Both compute-intensive and battery-powered IoT applications
will gain advantages from this partnership effort," said,
Chris Rogers, chief executive
officer at SensiML "In both cases the processing will execute more
quickly, delivering faster results and simultaneously saving
power."
"SensiML successfully partnered with us previously to support
our Thunderboard Sense 2 development board and its associated EFR32
multi-protocol radio SoC," said Ross
Sabolcik, Senior Vice President of Industrial and Commercial
IoT at Silicon Labs. "We're very pleased to be collaborating with
them again to provide complete, performance and power-optimized
intelligent AI/ML-based IoT solutions."
The latest version of the SensiML Analytics Toolkit includes
optimizations to support the AI accelerator core in the SiLabs MG24
and BG24 Series 2 Bluetooth® wireless SoCs as part of SensiML
toolkit custom Knowledge Packs. These Knowledge Packs can be
readily integrated into customized firmware applications and can be
generated in binary, library, and full C source code formats. Also
included in the latest SensiML release is support for the Silicon
Labs EFR32xG24 Dev Kit (xG24-DK2601B) boards allowing developers to
rapidly evaluate a diverse array of sensor applications using the
xG24 AI capabilities with SensiML on this sensor-packed small form
factor IoT kit.
