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
特定應用的集成硬件和軟件技術堆棧降低了進入門檻並縮短了上市時間
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.
亞利桑那州錢德勒，2024年12月12日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——物聯網、工業自動化和智能機器人的興起，以及醫學成像解決方案向智能邊緣的激增，使得此類功率和熱限制應用的設計比以往任何時候都更加複雜。爲了應對加快產品開發週期和簡化複雜開發流程的關鍵挑戰，微芯科技（納斯達克股票代碼：MCHP）發佈了 PolarFire FPGA 和 SoC 解決方案堆棧 爲了 智能機器人 和 醫學成像。這些新版本建立在 Microchip 已經推出的智能嵌入式視覺、工業邊緣和智能邊緣通信堆棧的基礎上。
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.
解決方案堆棧包括用於人工智能輔助4K60計算機視覺的固件和IP內核、各種即用型傳感器和攝像機接口以及用於高速以太網協議的集成硬件。與實時 ROS-2 兼容的內核有助於機器人完成感知和座標轉換任務。這些堆棧爲 OPC/UA 提供時間敏感的工業網絡協議、豐富的操作系統支持和工業自動化中常用的非對稱處理。軟件設計套件允許進行高水平的定製，並支持以 C/C++、RTL 和流行的機器學習框架爲中心的各種開發環境，包括 smartHLS IDE、VectorBlox Accelerator SDK 和已通過認證適用於需要 IEC61503 SIL 3 功能安全的應用程序的 Libero SoC 設計套件。這些解決方案堆棧彙集了業界最節能、最安全的中檔PolarFire FPGA和PolarFire SoC FPGA，這是一種具有網絡安全保護的硬件和軟件解決方案的豐富組合，使系統設計人員能夠自由地在醫學成像和機器人應用方面進行創新。
