Infineon Launches Edge-AI Kit to Accelerate ML Development

Infineon Technologies, a global leader in semiconductor solutions for power systems and the Internet of Things (IoT), has announced the launch of its new PSoC™ 6 AI Evaluation Kit. This cutting-edge kit is designed for the development of embedded edge artificial intelligence (Edge-AI) and machine learning (ML) systems. The PSoC™ 6 AI Evaluation Kit provides all the necessary tools for building intelligent consumer, smart home, and IoT applications.
The PSoC™ 6 solution enables inference directly at the sensor data source, offering superior real-time performance and energy efficiency compared to cloud-centric architectures. Compact in size at 35 mm x 45 mm, the PSoC™ 6 is cost-effective and integrates multiple sensors and connectivity features, making it ideal for local data collection, rapid prototyping, model evaluation, and solution creation.
The PSoC™ 6 AI Evaluation Kit also leverages Infineon's advanced microcontroller (MCU), sensor, and connectivity product portfolio, as well as powerful software development environments, including Infineon's ModusToolbox™ and Imagimob Studio. These tools enable customization of edge ML models and offer plug-and-play Ready Models.
Steve Tateosian, Senior Vice President of IoT, Industrial, and Consumer Microcontrollers at Infineon Technologies, stated, "Infineon is committed to advancing edge AI, which requires our hardware portfolio to provide outstanding real-time computing capabilities and energy efficiency, and our development tools to simplify and accelerate application development. With our latest evaluation kit, we have created a complete and user-friendly Infineon hardware and software ecosystem that will accelerate the development and deployment of intelligent solutions in consumer, smart home, commercial, and industrial IoT applications."
The new AI Evaluation Kit complements Infineon's comprehensive AI technology solutions, which include:
- Hardware for Edge-AI Models: The evaluation kit is based on the Infineon PSoC™ 6 MCU and supports the development of automotive, industrial, and consumer applications with Infineon's extensive XENSIV™ product range, as well as connectivity solutions including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Low Power Bluetooth (BLE).
- AI Models and Tools for Various Applications: With Imagimob Studio, developers can quickly bring their AI models to production. The platform is available for free and supports users in building high-quality AI models from scratch and optimizing existing ones. Imagimob Ready Models offer AI models for businesses that lack the time, budget, or machine learning expertise to create custom models.
