The WE-I Plus processor accommodates a wide selection of TinyML Neural Network models with programmable DSP running up to 400MHz clock and 2MB internal SRAM. WE-I Plus supports TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers framework and can run inferences such as open-source Google Examples, including “Hello World”, “Micro Speech”, “Person Detection”, and “Magic Wand”.

WE-I Plus, coupled with the VGA sensor consumes power as low as 2.5mW with model inference time of less than 35ms.

The all-in-one WE-I Plus EVB includes an AI processor, HM0360 AoS VGA camera, 2 microphones and a 3-axis accelerometer to perform vision, voice and vibration detection and recognition. It builds in FTDI USB-to-SPI/I2C/UART bridge for flash programming interfacing and message/debug print/metadata output. It also features two LEDs to illustrate classification results. Additionally, an expansion header with I2C and GPIOs interface allows connections to external sensors or devices.
