Renesas Electronics Corporation announced today that it has expanded its embedded artificial intelligence (e-AI) solutions to integrate AI into embedded systems to realize the intelligence of terminal devices. About 150 companies in more than 10 countries around the world are carrying out trials including tools based on this technology. So far, there have been more than 30 actual use cases of e-AI. Renesas Electronics has now developed a new RZ/A2M microprocessor (MPU) to extend the use of e-AI solutions to high-end applications. The image processing performance of the new MPU is 10 times that of its predecessor RZ/A1 (Note 1). By adopting Renesas’ unique dynamic configurable processor ("DRP", Note 2), it can achieve low power consumption. Realize real-time image processing. In this way, applications can be integrated into embedded devices, such as smart home appliances, service robots, and compact industrial machinery, so that cameras and other AI functions can be used to perform image recognition under low power consumption conditions, and to accelerate the intelligentization of terminal devices . Currently, there are many challenges in using AI in the field of operational technology (OT), such as difficulty in transmitting large amounts of data from sensors to the cloud for processing, and delays while waiting for AI judgment results to be transmitted back from the cloud. Renesas Electronics has launched a number of AI unit solutions that can detect previously unforeseen failures in real time by accurately analyzing the oscillation waveforms of motors or machines. In order to further expand the application of artificial intelligence in the OT field, Renesas Electronics has developed RZ/A2M with DRP function, which makes image-based AI functions possible, and these functions often require a larger amount of data and more than waveform measurement and analysis. Powerful processing performance. Because it can perform real-time image processing with very low power consumption, battery-powered devices can perform tasks such as real-time image recognition based on camera input, biometric authentication using fingerprint or iris scanning, and high-speed scanning by handheld scanners. . This solves many problems related to cloud computing-based methods, such as difficulty in real-time performance, difficulty in protecting privacy and security. Renesas Electronics Executive Vice President and General Manager of Industrial Solutions Business Unit Yokota Yoshikazu said: "The adoption of e-AI will bring huge improvements in convenience, safety and production efficiency. We have successfully improved the use of e-AI. The production capacity of our own factory has been verified to verify the optimization that AI brings to terminal equipment. We will continue to expand the scope of e-AI applications, from simple attributes such as color, shape and waveform to real-time processing of complex images; we will Provide a wider range of applications and e-AI solutions that everyone can use, and play a leading role in promoting the intelligentization of terminal devices." Main features of the new RZ/A2M with DRP function RZ/A2M with DRP function is a new member of RZ/A series MPU, equipped with large-capacity on-chip RAM without external DRAM. The RZ/A series MPU is very suitable for applications that use human-machine interface (HMI) functions, and RZ/A2M further enhances this feature, which provides a number of functions that are very suitable for camera applications. It supports MIPI® camera interface, which is widely used in mobile devices, and is equipped with DRP, through which image input can be processed at high speed. Renesas Electronics has enhanced network functions by adding dual-channel Ethernet support, and enhanced security functions with an on-chip hardware encryption accelerator. Through these functions, the new RZ/A2M can realize a safe and reliable network connection, which is suitable for various systems using image recognition functions, covering a wide range from household appliances to industrial machinery.

In the second half of 2019, Renesas Electronics will release an AI accelerator equipped with DRP, whose AI processing performance is 100 times faster than software processing, and can perform real-time inference through e-AI. In 2021, Renesas Electronics will release the next generation of AI accelerators, whose capabilities are 1,000 times that of traditional MPUs. In this way, Renesas Electronics will enhance the value of embedded devices through AI, so that terminal devices can not only infer, but also learn. Listing status RZ/A2M samples with DRP function are available now. Renesas Electronics provides development boards, reference software, and DRP image processing libraries, enabling customers to immediately start evaluating HMI functions and image processing performance. It is planned to start mass production in the first quarter of 2019; by 2021, the monthly output of all versions is expected to reach a total of 400,000 sets. Note: 1. For example, when running the "Canny Edge Detection" algorithm used to detect image edges, if the CPU is used for software processing, RZ/A2M will require 142 milliseconds (ms) per frame; however, if the on-chip DRP is used for hardware processing, It only needs 10 milliseconds per frame. This shows that the image processing performance has been improved by more than 10 times. 2. DRP is a set of hardware intellectual property (IP) modules that can dynamically change the configuration of its processing circuit from one clock cycle to the next. In applications such as broadcasting equipment and digital cameras, DRP has been used in mass production for more than a decade. This unique technology of Renesas Electronics combines hardware performance with software flexibility and has brought added value to various products over the years. Looking forward to the future, Renesas Electronics plans to extend the use of DRP to e-AI to provide superior power performance and unparalleled flexibility, keeping track of and maintaining continuous progress in the field of neural networks.
