The partnership provides customers with additional flexibility and a choice of platforms for native development and configuration of ML applications for systems based on PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU devices. These offer 150 MHz Arm® CPU performance with low-power connectivity and a variety of peripheral options. For example, the CY8CKIT-062-BLE Pioneer Kit combined with the E-Ink Display Shield Board (CY8CKIT-028-EPD) includes an inertial measurement unit, microphone and temperature sensor. It supports applications that process real-world sensor data from AI models based on Tiny Machine Learning, optimized for energy-efficient, low-cost edge IoT environments.
Infineon’s PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU devices integrate a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M4F and Arm Cortex-M0+ chip architecture and Bluetooth LE 5.2 on a single chip. This also includes configurable voltage and frequency settings, integrated hardware-based security, advanced capacitive interfaces and more. As the only 150 MHz Bluetooth LE MCU on the market, this powerful variant of the PSoC family combines power efficiency, compact size and programmability. It is thus perfectly suited for edge IoT applications using advanced ML algorithms.
Edge Impulse’s offerings streamline the entire process of acquiring and structuring data sets, designing algorithms with pre-built building blocks, and validating models with real-time data. This also enables the fully optimized, production-ready results to be transferred to edge targets such as the PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU.
“Edge Impulse enables Infineon customers to bring embedded AI/ML use cases to market faster. We also offer our customers the option to develop their own AI/ML models or use one of the predefined models offered by Infineon or our partners. At Infineon, we are excited to add Edge Impulse to our growing network. We will continue to work with a wide range of AI/ML partners to complement our offerings,” said Shantanu Bhalerao, vice president of the Bluetooth product line at Infineon.
“With advanced processing capabilities and low power requirements, the PSoC 63 Bluetooth LE MCU is an ideal tool for the next generation of edge devices, ranging from wearables to industrial monitoring systems,” said Zach Shelby, CEO and co-founder of Edge Impulse. “Combined with the Edge Impulse platform, embedded developers can more quickly design and deploy high-performance solutions for a wide range of Edge ML applications.”
