Edge Impulse is thrilled to announce support for Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9161 and nRF9151 development kits! These low-power solutions, equipped with LTE-M/NB-IoT modems, enable efficient data transmission and edge ML capabilities, ideal for asset tracking, predictive maintenance, and more. incorporating a Cortex M33, a full LTE-M/NB-IoT and DECT NR+ modem with GPS along with 1 MB of flash and 256 KB RAM, this low-power SiP dev kit is ideal for industrial embedded machine learning applications which require sending classification results over long distances.
With direct integration in Edge Impulse, users can easily gather sensor data, build machine learning models, and deploy them to these boards. Start building impactful, real-world applications with guides tailored to get your projects off the ground fast.
By pairing this board with the fully supported ST X-NUCLEO-IKS02A1 shield (with on-board accelerometer and microphone), developers can quickly get started collecting data, building and training models, and deploying these models to the nRF9161 and nRF9151 directly from Edge Impulse.
How do I get started?
Get started building your industrial-grade embedded machine learning applications for the nRF9161 and nRF9151 DKs today with our getting started guide.
- Purchase the nRF9160 DK microcontroller and X-NUCLEO-IKS02A1 sensor shield.
- Connect the board to Edge Impulse.
- Follow one of Edge Impulse’s tutorials on:
- Go to the Deployment tab of your Edge Impulse project, then build and download a ready-to-go binary that includes your machine learning model for the nRF9151 or nRF9161 DK; or deploy as a C++ library and integrate the model into your own firmware!
Congratulations! You have now successfully built and deployed a low-power, industrial-grade embedded machine learning application for the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151 or nRF9161 DK.
Send classification results over a cellular network with MQTT
Now that you have deployed a model to your nRF9151 or nRF9161 DK, take advantage of this dev kit’s on-board LTE-M/NB-IoT modem by sending your model’s classification results of your incoming sensor data over a cellular network with MQTT. Use this tutorial as a sample and start building your next connected project! You can find the Edge Impulse firmware for Nordic Semiconductor nRF9161DK and nRF9151DK in the firmware-nordic-nrf91x1 repository.
This combination supports all Edge Impulse device features, including ingestion, remote management and inferencing.
We are very excited to see what you build with the nRF9151 and nRF9161 DK and Edge Impulse, please post any questions you have and any projects you create on our forum or tag @EdgeImpulse and @NordicTweets on our social media channels!
