About this demo This demo shows the usage of a Neural Network (NN) applied for handwritten digit recognition, the NN model runs on the i.MX RT1060 MCU. The main idea of the demonstration is to show the i.MX RT capability to manage a graphical user interface while applying a NN model to recognize handwritten numbers to determine whether a password is correct or wrong. The demonstration is tested by setting a 4-digit password to a 4.3" LCD Panel, then the user must enter the correct password to unlock device; when the password is provided, the digits recognized by the NN are displayed on the screen. A 'Clear' button will erase the previous numbers for the user to try a new password to unlock the device. Technical Introduction and Acknowledgment The demo is available using two different approaches for the model creation and inference engines: TensorFlow Lite and CMSIS-NN using Caffe Framework.   TensorFlow Lite The application note AN12603 describes handwritten digit recognition on embedded systems through deep learning. The digit recognition is performed by a TensorFlow Lite model trained with the MINST dataset containing 60,000 handwritten grayscale images and 10,000 testing examples. This application note, deep dives into every step to achieve the application using Tensorflow Lite and build a GUI using Embedded Wizard.   CMSIS-NN using Caffee Framework The application note AN12781 explores the usage of Deep Neural Networks created in Caffe Framework, this framework allows creating a model and convert it to CMSIS-NN functions to be exported to the i.MX RT platform as source files. The model is also trained for the digit recognition using the MNIST dataset. The document describes the procedure to create, train and deploy the model; in the final step the model is exported a C source files using CMSIS-NN functions and weights that are exported to the i.MX RT1060 project. Video     Hardware setup   Recommended Products i.MX RT1060 Evaluation Kit | NXP  4.3" LCD Panel RK043FN02H-CT | NXP    Further Information                                           The NXP ® eIQ ™ software environment enables the use of ML algorithms on NXP MCUs, i.MX RT crossover MCUs, and i.MX family SoCs. eIQ software includes inference engines, neural network compilers and optimized libraries. Additionally,  the models can be optimized through techniques like quantization and pruning, AN12781 explores the possibility of optimization by creating a new model using Caffe with a quantization to simplify the floating-point data. By reducing the 32-bit floating-point data to an 8-bit and fixed-point format, the memory allocation got reduced and this resulted in a lower-processing power.   Transfer Learning Transfer learning gives machine learning models the ability to apply past experience to quickly and more accurately learn to solve new problems. This technique has become very important in deep learning. AN12892 describes how to perform transfer learning in TensorFlow and a use case example, which aims to improve the performance of the application from AN12603.    Useful Links   Links  AN12603 AN12603 Software AN12781 AN12781 Software AN12892 AN12892 Software eIQ™ for TensorFlow Lite | NXP  Caffe | Deep Learning Framework  Embedded Wizard | Simplify Your GUI Development  What is a Container? | App Containerization | Docker

Overview Remote virtual smartphones promise the same benefits as remote computer desktops and cloud-based gaming: low-cost client hardware, sandboxed user environments, and persistent user state. The way they work is that the physical smartphone runs only thin-client software and the smartphone application runs remotely on a server. To be economical, this server hosts multiple of these virtual smartphones, taking advantage of hardware virtualization support built into its processor. Slotted into the machine, an add-on GPU provides high-performance graphics. To reduce latency for real-time gameplay, the server is best located near the end-user in the edge of the mobile network. For virtual smartphones to be compatible with physical smartphones, Arm compatibility is required. At the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show, NXP demonstrated the Layerscape LX2160A processor hosting Redfinger’s cloud-based Android emulator and virtual smartphone. NXP’s processor integrates 16 CPU cores, enabling it to host 16 or more virtual smartphones. Games and other software execute with the same look and feel as if they were running locally on a smartphone. Like other Layerscape processors, the LX2160A delivers excellent performance per watt and is designed to work in high-temperature environments, such as being packed densely in a rack in a data center or deployed remotely at an edge-computing site. Although NXP designed it for stringent embedded applications, the LX2160A processor is powerful enough for servers—making it a great solution for Android emulation.     Block Diagram NXP Products Name of Product QorIQ LX2160A Development Board | NXP    Related Documents from Community Name of Document Discover i.MX: Industry-Leading Processor Solution for Media, Smart Home, Smart Industrial, Health/Medical and Broad Embedded Applications    Related Communities Name of Document Layerscape

Overview   Artificial intelligence, and machine learning specifically, is transforming industries from Consumer to Industrial. To date, many applications host AI/ML inferencing on conventional computers in the cloud or locally. Meanwhile, edge computing is enabling other computing workloads to move from conventional information technology (IT) to lower-cost systems close to where data is generated. Although many AI/ML workloads run fine on edge systems’ CPUs, others are more intense: either multiple AI/ML functions must run simultaneously or performance requirements (e.g., frame rates) are too great. The solution to gaining the combined benefits of AI/ML and edge computing is acceleration. At the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show, NXP demonstrated the LS1046A-FRWY platform simultaneously running two or more high-intensity AI/ML functions. These include face recognition, object detection (both general and safety gear), posture recognition, and gaze detection. The scenario demonstrated is factory safety. An operator within a safety zone is monitored for attentiveness, personal protective equipment, and access control. Helping to make this possible is external acceleration based on the Google Edge TPU. Interfacing to the Layerscape LS1046A processor via its copious PCI Express ports, two M.2 TPU cards slotted in the FRWY system offload AI/ML inferencing. Based on the Layerscape LS1046A processor with four powerful Arm Cortex-A72 CPU cores, the compact, cost-effective LS1046A-FRWY platform gives developers a leg up on implementing high-performance AI/ML applications at the edge.   Diagram     Products Product Name LS1046A Freeway Board | NXP  Related Community Documents Document Name NXP Helps Industrial System Developers Apply AI/ML to Their Designs  Five Easy Steps To Deploy Machine Learning On Layerscape

Overview   The 5G era ushers in changes to the wireless industry and new benefits to end-users. One change is a new partitioning of network-infrastructure functions, dividing the once-monolithic base station into three pieces: the radio unit (RU), distributed unit (DU), and centralized unit (CU). Associated with one or more RUs, the DU performs upper-layer PHY and media-access functions. It shares characteristics of both standard Linux computers and real-time systems and may be deployed in the field. NXP demonstrated at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show a working 5G system, including a DU highlighting how the Layerscape LX2160A processor addresses these requirements. This 16-core device integrates multiple high-speed PCI Express interfaces and Ethernet ports running up to 100Gbps, delivering the needed computational performance and I/O in a power-efficient envelope. NXP also showed how its Layerscape Access programmable baseband processors can help enable fixed-wireless access designs for the customer premises, small cells, repeaters, in-home wireless links, and accelerators for CU systems. These programmable devices help mobile operators quickly deploy open radio-access networks. NXP has solutions from the antenna to the processor.
