SiLabs xG24 Dev Kit ML hardware accelerator utilization

Hi,

Does the EI firmware utilizes ML hardware accelerator available on this supported board SiLabs xG24 Dev Kit | Edge Impulse Documentation
or it just CPU-only inference?

Needs to decide between this board and SLTB010A Bluetooth Thunderboard Kit - Silicon Labs - Silicon Labs for prototyping, your help will be appreciated, Thank you

Hello @Koppu,

The SiLabs xG24 utilizes indeed the AI hardware accelerator.
As per the guidance on the choice of board, it really depends on your project and your constraints.
If you are looking to choose the correct MCU for a commercial product, let me know, I can happily put you in contact with our sales team. Then, we can help you to decide based on your use case.

Best,

Louis

Hi Louis,

I brought xG24 Dev Kit for my personal research project and was following getting started guide for this board to set it up for my apple silicon Mac which is not successful:

this is my first use of EI and any help to install ‘edge-impulse-daemon’ on MacBook would be helpful

It seems that the CLI has been properly installed.

Can you try to close your terminal and open it again? Else feel free to have a look at the troubleshooting section in this documentation page: Installation | Documentation

Best,

Louis

How do I add my custom made analog sensor which is attached to the ADC of the board EI project for capture data using edge-impulse-deamon ?
