Aetina Launches AIE-CP1A-A1 ASIC-based Edge AI System for Computer Vision Applications

Aetina Corporation is a Taiwanese company that designs and manufactures high-performance edge computing hardware and low or no-code software for AI and IoT. The company recently launched a new ASIC-based edge AI system designed for different computer vision applications; the AIE-CP1A-A1.

The AIE-CP1A-A1 system is powered by a compact Blaize Pathfinder P1600 Embedded SoM which is equipped with a dual ARM Cortex A53 processor, the Blaize GSP 16 TOPS AI accelerator, and H.264/H.265 video encoder & decoder for fast image recognition and video analytics tasks. The SoM also boasts extended temperature ranges that make it suitable for use in rugged and challenging environments and also in complex embedded systems and applications. Others include 4GB RAM, PCIe Gen 3.0, and MIPI CSI/DPI camera interfaces.

The ASIC-based AIE-CP1A-A1 embedded computer is fanless has a compact chassis design and can be used for a variety of applications including object detection, human motion detection, and automated inspection. It features an HDMI video output, one microSD card slot, one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.2 ports, one USB Type-C, a power LED, a reset button, and a host of many others. It enables the flexible development of highly-accurate custom AI algorithms via the Blaize NetDeploy and Picasso SDK. The software platform supports PyTorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX machine learning frameworks.
