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 […]

By classifying food waste of individual consumers and raising awareness of the measures, avoidable food waste […]
BY TOBIAS WELTI AND HANS-JOACHIM GELKE Due to their hardware architecture, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are optimally suited for the execution of machine learning algorithms. These algorithms require the calculation of millions or even billions of multiplications for each input. To successfully accelerate a neural network, parallel execution of multiplication is the key. The […]
A computer with a GPU combined with an FPGA is a powerful tool for high speed video processing. An FPGA can preprocess multiple video streams in realtime and then send the data to the GPU for further processing. FPD-Link III is a cost-effective solution for high speed video transmission. It has made a name for […]
