SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic
Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power
multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI
solutions, today announced that it has joined forces with SensiML™
to spearhead an initiative to aid in the creation of new and
innovative technological solutions to the global climate change
crisis.
The initiative entails the co-sponsorship of the Climate Change
Challenge, a contest through the Avnet Hackster.io online
community, which has over 1.5M
members across 150 countries. Contributors can use the ultra-low
power EOS™ S3 on QuickLogic's open source QuickFeather development
board and the SensiML Analytics Toolkit to develop their best
intelligent IoT ideas to help address climate change. They can then
submit their projects to the highly qualified panel of judges for
evaluation and become eligible for prizes for winning
submissions.
The problem of climate change is well known for its potential to
globally impact human civilization as well as the natural
environment. From weather events, to agriculture, to water
supplies, to health and safety – climate change touches on nearly
all aspects of our daily lives. Technical innovation can play
a critical role in slowing and ultimately stemming this tide –
that's why QuickLogic and SensiML created this challenge. By
providing silicon, software, and development boards as part of an
open source environment and delivering those to the development
community at large, the companies are offering their technology to
the thousands of engineers who have ideas that can help.
The QuickFeather Development Kit is an ideal platform, which
together with the SensiML toolkit, enables developers to add AI and
Machine Learning (ML) capabilities to endpoint IoT applications
quickly. The kit features the QuickFeather board with a small form
factor board powered by QuickLogic's EOS™ S3, the first
FPGA-enabled Arm Cortex®-M4F MCU to be fully supported by the
Zephyr RTOS. Unlike other development kits that are based on
proprietary hardware and software tools, QuickFeather is based on
open source hardware, which is compatible with the Adafruit Feather
form factor and is built around 100% open source software
(including the SymbiFlow FPGA
tools, and Renode emulation environment.)
The SensiML Analytics Toolkit is integrated with the
QuickFeather Development Kit and adds the capability for designers
to create "smart" IoT applications using AI and AutoML technology.
The SensiML tools make it easy to add sophisticated AI for
low-power processors and MCUs without requiring major compute
resources or cloud connectivity, making it the perfect development
tool for smart endpoint IoT applications.
