Overview
Description
The AIK-RA8D1 provides developers with multiple and reconfigurable connectivity functions to expedite AI/ML system development. This easy-to-use hardware platform for multimodal AI/ML solutions is based on the RA8D1 MCU from the RA family of 32-bit MCUs.
The hardware platform is intended for use in a variety of AI/ML single or multimodal use cases supporting vision, real-time analytics, and audio. It enables multiple combinations of different plug-in sensors with the available onboard analog microphones and camera.
The kit is supported by Reality AI Software for real-time analytics, and by the Renesas Ready Partner Network for specific vision and audio-based use cases.
The AIK-RA8D1 will enable you to evaluate and test available application examples, as well as develop your own solutions using the available ecosystem and AI/ML software.
