Designed to be the solution for an AI compute device right at the Edge, Sondrel’s new SFA 100 IP reference platform makes creating high-performance, battery-powered IoT devices easy and fast. The design has an onboard Arm CPU to locally process data gathered from its associated sensors for onward transmission via wire or wireless connection for further analysis. Naturally, security is built in using standard secure/encrypted protocols.
The SFA 100 provides the ability to integrate a machine-learning engine onto a low cost, low power edge device and is based on the Arm Corstone-300 subsystem that ensures a very high level of security.
Most of the design work has already been done to create this reference design so that all that is needed is the customer’s own IP and any minor customisation needed for the final ASIC. This innovative, Architecting the future, semi-custom approach therefore reduces risk, design costs and time to market by up to 30% compared to starting from scratch.
