High-Speed Data Flow in the Operating Room with Software-Defined Networking The Institute of Embedded Systems (InES), High Performance Multimedia Group has taken a leap forward in high-speed data transfer in surgical environments. We have developed a high-speed (25Gbps) network switch built on an ARM System-on-Chip (SoC), achieving up to 25 Gbit/s switching performance without relying […]
For the past several months, we have been deep in the trenches with the ai8x-training tool and the training of various Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures tailored explicitly for the MAX78000 and MAX78002 devices. Nevertheless, the ai8x training tool was more of a hindrance than a help. Among the myriad challenges we encountered, the inability to make […]
The Institute of Embedded Systems (InES) at ZHAW, with great experience in hardware and software development for NVIDIA Jetson computing modules, is presenting the successor of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier modular vision system based on the new high-performance NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX. As the Jetson AGX Xavier system, this new prototyping platform consists of […]
Running artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, such as neural networks, directly on embedded devices has many advantages compared to running them in the cloud: One can save significant amounts of cloud storage, reduce power consumption and enable real-time applications. In addition, privacy is increased and required bandwidth reduced because only the AI algorithms results are forwarded […]
The Institute of Embedded Systems (InES) High Performance Multimedia group generated a low latency version of the classic Jamulus music rehearsal application for the Raspberry Pi 4 The classic Jamulus is an open source application for music groups who want to rehearse over the internet. Especially with the global pandemic, Jamulus is a great solution […]
The Institute of Embedded Systems (InES) at ZHAW, with great experience in hardware development for NVIDIA computing modules, is now shipping its modular vision system based on high-performance NVIDIA Xavier AGX. To shorten the time to market, the prototyping system consists of a greatly reduced motherboard that can be equipped with different types of M2-footprint […]
The ZHAW Institute of Embedded Systems (InES), High Performance Multimedia Group, developed a 4k video for Linux driver for the Lontium LT6911UXC HDMI to MIPI CSI-2 converter IC.The driver was written for NVIDIA Jetson Processors and enables the following features of the LT6911UXC Supports 4k HDMI 2.0 to MIPI CSI-2, requiring only one CSI port […]
The complexity of today’s multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) can lead to major security risks in embedded designs, as the available security functions are often not or insufficiently utilized. InES (Institute of Embedded Systems at ZHAW) developed a reference design which demonstrates a concept of a secure boot implementation and runtime system on a Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+. […]
The Institute of Embedded Systems at ZHAW developed a driver for the deserializer DS90UB954 and serializer DS90UB953 from Texas Instruments. The driver was tested on the RaspberryPi 4, NVIDIA Nano and NVIDIA Xavier modules. FPD-Link III is a cost-effective solution for high speed video transmission. The video data, the bidirectional configuration signal and the power […]
The Institute of Embedded Systems at ZHAW has developed an open source adapter which allows streaming of a CSI-2 Camera interface to a Raspberry Pi. This allows connecting cameras with CSI interface via a long distance cable (up to 15m) to the CSI-2 input of a Raspberry Pi. The long range adapter uses FPD-Link III […]
