Microchip Expands PolarFire FPGA and SoC Solution Stacks With New Offerings for Medical Imaging and Smart Robotics
"Our customers have an urgent requirement to drive significant innovation in secure, functionally safe, AI-assisted industrial automation and portable medical imaging that delivers unprecedented compute horsepower in the smallest of physical footprints which are thermally stressed, and that are very vulnerable to cyber-security threats," said Shakeel Peera, vice president of marketing and strategy for Microchip's FPGA business unit. "To that end, we are now providing developers in these segments the ability to utilize power-efficient hardware and customizable solution stacks with an end goal of rapidly deploying intelligent medical imaging and autonomous robots."Application-specific, integrated hardware and software technology stacks lower the barrier of entry and speed time to market
特定应用的集成硬件和软件技术堆栈降低了进入门槛并缩短了上市时间
CHANDLER, Ariz., Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The rise of IoT, industrial automation and smart robotics, along with the proliferation of medical imaging solutions to the intelligent edge, has made designing these types of power and thermally constrained applications more complex than ever before. To address the critical challenges of accelerating product development cycles and easing complicated development processes, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has released PolarFire FPGA and SoC solution stacks for smart robotics and medical imaging. These new releases build upon Microchip's smart embedded vision, industrial edge and intelligent edge communications stacks already available.
亚利桑那州钱德勒，2024年12月12日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——物联网、工业自动化和智能机器人的兴起，以及医学成像解决方案向智能边缘的激增，使得此类功率和热限制应用的设计比以往任何时候都更加复杂。为了应对加快产品开发周期和简化复杂开发流程的关键挑战，微芯科技（纳斯达克股票代码：MCHP）发布了 PolarFire FPGA 和 SoC 解决方案堆栈 为了 智能机器人 和 医学成像。这些新版本建立在 Microchip 已经推出的智能嵌入式视觉、工业边缘和智能边缘通信堆栈的基础上。
The solution stacks include firmware and IP cores for AI-assisted 4K60 computer vision, a diverse set of ready-to-use sensor and camera interfaces and integrated hardware for high-speed Ethernet protocols. Real-time ROS-2 compatible cores facilitate robotics tasks for perception and coordinate transformation. The stacks offer time-sensitive industrial networking protocols for OPC/UA, rich operating systems support and asymmetric processing commonly used in industrial automation. Software design kits allow for a high-level of customization and support diverse development environments centered around C/C++, RTL and popular machine learning frameworks, including the SmartHLS IDE, VectorBlox Accelerator SDK and the and Libero SoC Design Suite which has been certified for applications needing IEC61503 SIL 3 functional safety. The solution stacks bring together the industry's most power-efficient and secure mid-range PolarFire FPGAs and PolarFire SoC FPGAs, a rich mix of hardware and software solutions with cyber security protections that allow system designers the freedom to innovate in medical imaging and robotics applications.
解决方案堆栈包括用于人工智能辅助4K60计算机视觉的固件和IP内核、各种即用型传感器和摄像机接口以及用于高速以太网协议的集成硬件。与实时 ROS-2 兼容的内核有助于机器人完成感知和坐标转换任务。这些堆栈为 OPC/UA 提供时间敏感的工业网络协议、丰富的操作系统支持和工业自动化中常用的非对称处理。软件设计套件允许进行高水平的定制，并支持以 C/C++、RTL 和流行的机器学习框架为中心的各种开发环境，包括 smartHLS IDE、VectorBlox Accelerator SDK 和已通过认证适用于需要 IEC61503 SIL 3 功能安全的应用程序的 Libero SoC 设计套件。这些解决方案堆栈汇集了业界最节能、最安全的中档PolarFire FPGA和PolarFire SoC FPGA，这是一种具有网络安全保护的硬件和软件解决方案的丰富组合，使系统设计人员能够自由地在医学成像和机器人应用方面进行创新。
