Lattice Semiconductor has released  version 3.0  of its sensAI edge inferencing  solutions stack,  which delivers several updated features and support for the company's 28 nm FD-SOI CrossLink-NX  family of low-power FPGAs. According to Lattice, CrossLink-NX devices running sensAI software double performance and consume half the power versus prior versions of the stack.

Key enhancements in sensAI version 3.0 include:

• New CNN accelerator IP that takes advantage of parallelism,  2.5  Mb of distributed memory and block RAM, and additional DSP resources in the CrossLink-NX FPGA architecture
• Updates to  the NN compiler tool that simplifies the  compilation and download of trained models to CrossLink-NX FPGAs.
• Added support for MobileNet v2, SSD, and ResNet models on Lattice ECP5 FPGAs
• A VGG-based object counting demo that yields 10 fps at only 200 mW on CrossLink-NX FPGAs.

Lattice plans to continue releasing new out-of-the-box application demos and reference designs via the sensAI platform.
