CAST introduces work by partner Fraunhofer IPMS to add a new option to the EMSA5-FS RISC-V processor that enables "Edge AI" for standalone, in-device Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning operations.
Discusses the hardware implementations of QOI (Quite Okay Image) lossless compression encoder and decoder IP cores. Provides sample results, and describes a further compression improvement using the Hilbert curve.
New QOI (Quite Okay Image) codecs deliver faster lossless compression with simpler processing and significantly smaller silicon for 24-bit RGB and 32-bit RGBA images.
New PNG Decoder IP Core from CAST and IObundle is a fast hardware decompression engine for PNG images and video and offers standard support with broad encoder compatibility.
The Fraunhofer IPMS-developed EMSA5-FS processor core for functional safety based on the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture is supported by another important debug tool. With the integration into the toolsets of the leading manufacturer ...
Fraunhofer IPMS and CAST have worked together for 20 years to develop and deliver some of the best IP cores available anywhere, especially for automotive applications. One of their products, the EMSA5-FS Functional Safety RISC-V Embedded Processor ...
