NC-SDK-AC

NC-SDK software links the Edge-AI world with implementations on Imagination’s PowerVR GPU. This software enables AI algorithms written in TensorFlow Lite to be mapped and optimised on to an OpenCL-enabled (“Rogue Class”/sixth generation & later) PowerVR GPU.

In 2022, versions up to 0.2.1 were used to support the closed-user group trial of the teaching materials on the MediaTek i300A “Pumpkin Board” sold by SEEED Studio. This enabled detailed testing and improvement of the materials.

With version 0.2.2 the hardware platform has changed to the BeagleBone™ AI-64 board and the materials are being released to Teachers and Trainers worldwide.

This version supports the Edge-AI teaching materials which use the BeagleBone™ AI-64 (and previously the “Pumpkin” board). It can also be run on other hardware containing Imagination’s PowerVR GPU such as an Acer Chromebook.

No further updates are currently planned.
