Maix Bit Risc V

clem57

I recently came across an interesting AIoT device called Maix Risc V device. It was originally a crowd sourced campaign from Shenzhen, China. Being interested in exploring this architecture as well as neural  network processing, I decided to take the byte (Ha ha) and get one. Here is the package unopened.

Overview

 

 

Sipeed MAIX is the first RV64 AI board for Edge Computing, it makes AI embedded to any IoT device possible. MAIX have tons of excited features: Dual Core RV64 IMAFDC, 8 MB SRAM, Neural Network Processor(0.25~0.5 TOPS, support Tensor Flow Lite), APU, hardcore FFT... All this is in Square Inch, 0.3 W! Also we have made it breadboard friendly with micro python available. MAIX is open mind, everyone can contribute code/document, trade network module. MAIX can Maximize AI's power.

 

 

Sipeed MAIX: AI at the edge

 

 

AI is pervasive today, from consumer to enterprise applications.

With the explosive growth of connected devices, combined with a demand for privacy/confidentiality, low latency and bandwidth constraints, AI models trained in the cloud increasingly need to be run at the edge.

MAIX is Sipeed’s purpose-built module designed to run AI at the edge, we called it AIoT. Add to that a KPU(Neural Network Processor) inside.  This 64 KPU which is 576 bit width, supports convolution kernels and any form of activation function.

 

Without any more ado, here are the parts for the kit opened up:

I hope to expand more as I uncover and learn about this board. Drop a comment or two to let me know what do you think and maybe what uses you can come up with.
