Infineon Technologies announces that its leading AURIX™ microcontroller (MCU) family provides advanced real-time computing hardware. For e.g. embedded AI in safety-critical automotive applications.
With the Infineon AURIX MCUs family, the company’s ecosystem partner Ekkono Solutions aims to assist automotive component suppliers and OEMs in ensuring that each vehicle functions well and runs optimally using advance embedded AI.
To leverage these powerful capabilities of advance embedded AI, Infineon’s ecosystem partner Ekkono Solutions now offers an easy-to-use, fast and effective software development kit (SDK) for creating AI algorithms for embedded systems based on AURIX TC3x and TC4x.
Ekkono Solutions Incremental Learning at the Edge
Ekkono Solutions AB performs individual incremental learning at the edge, i.e. when the vehicle is started up and during operation. This enables virtual sensors that augment or replace physical sensors for climate control, battery management, and emissions, health indicators that detect deviations on transmission, gearboxes, and braking systems for condition-based maintenance, as well as simulations that determine the optimal driveline settings for the individual vehicle. This makes every component and every vehicle a little better, more reliable, and more energy efficient.
Ekkono SDK to Infineon’s AURIX Core and Accelerators
Catering to the growing automotive market, Ekkono has adapted its SDK to Infineon’s AURIX core and accelerators.
Without any further adjustments at the hardware level, developers can train and generate AI algorithms while taking advantage of the advanced capabilities of the AURIX TC3x and TC4x and Infineon AURIX MCUs range, especially for secure and safety-critical automotive applications.
This embedded AI enables vehicles to be context-aware and “understand” their environment as well as the driver’s needs – a prerequisite especially for future applications such as autonomous driving.
Key Comments
“We’ve been an Infineon ecosystem partner since 2019”, says Rikard König, CTO and co-founder at Ekkono. “Now we have a mature solution together that meets the needs and requirements of the automotive industry. We take great pride in going to market with Infineon who is one of the monoliths of high-performance MCUs in this space including the Infineon AURIX MCUs.”
“Artificial intelligence is on the rise and there is no question that this technology will also play a crucial role in tomorrow’s transportation solutions,” said Thomas Boehm, Senior Vice President Microcontroller at Infineon. “The latest Infineon AURIX MCUs provide versatile AI capabilities for customer projects. We are therefore excited to work with Ekkono to further simplify the development of AI-based automotive applications. We believe that these applications will not only serve convenience purposes but will also improve road safety and security.”
