Qualcomm Technologies' extensive developer tooling ecosystem complements Edge Impulse's capabilities, providing you with everything you need to efficiently prototype and deploy AI models.
Edge Impulse supports any edge device, and the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ RB3 Gen 2 Kit is no exception. So today, we are excited to announce the official integration of the Qualcomm Dragonwing RB3 Gen 2 Development Kit in the Edge Impulse platform!
The Qualcomm Dragonwing RB3 Gen 2 Dev Kit is packed with features that answer your calls for powerful, flexible hardware. With a Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490 or QCS5430 processor, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, and extensive I/O support, this kit is built to handle your most ambitious projects. Whether you're focusing on robotics, industrial automation, or smart devices, the RB3 Gen 2 delivers real-time AI processing with power efficiency in mind.
Edge Impulse Integration
Leveraging Edge Impulse Studio, you can now easily collect data, train, fine tune AI models, and deploy them on the Qualcomm Dragonwing RB3 Gen 2 Kit. Edge Impulse seamlessly integrates with the Qualcomm AI Hub to optimize models for performance, power efficiency, and memory usage, allowing AI workloads to run smoothly on edge devices.
Through this integration, you will be able to:
- Use Edge Impulse Studio to collect data, train, and fine-tune edge AI models and deploy models as C++ libraries, Docker containers, or an EIM binary for Linux with Qualcomm neural network accelerators to integrate your models in your application using your favorite programming language.
- Leverage the Qualcomm® Intelligent Multimedia Product SDK for advanced data pre-processing, post-processing, and inference.
See the documentation for more information.
Robust developer ecosystem
This integration enhances the already-existing large Qualcomm’s developers ecosystem. The kit supports multiple operating systems, including Linux (Yocto Project), Ubuntu, Android, and Windows, giving you the flexibility to choose the best platform for your applications.
