Embedded Toolbox: Knock Out Embedded AI & Machine Learning Developm...

So you’re an embedded or IoT developer, and there’s been an edict from on high that you need to start integrating AI into your design. And that’s about all you have to go on.

So where do you start? First of all, you’re not a machine learning aficionado or experienced data scientist. You’ve also been targeting resource-constrained embedded syste...

Marvee Amasi•5/27/24, 3:09 PM

I used to think that

low-power design

low-power design

is all about fancy hardware , but honestly Software plays a big role.
How is that ??
1. Put unused stuff to sleep

: Clock gating dims the lights on idle modules, while power gating cuts the power completely.
2. Smart task scheduling

: Try not to overwork your processor. Schedule your tasks efficiently and let it nap in low-power modes.
3. Tell peripherals to chill

:
Our Sensors and displays are energy hogs. Turn them off when you are not using them and configure them for power-saving modes also.
4. Code like a pro

: Choose efficient algorithms, use power-saving instructions, and eliminate unnecessary operations.

What are your software power-saving tips? Share let's learn

See @wafa_ath here's the idea ryt,

Floating point

Floating point

calculations require a dedicated

FPU

in the hardware, that alone can take up more power. Now

fixed point

fixed point

math can be done purely in software using integer operations, later on saving power on microcontrollers without an FPU.

has lower precision.

Think about integrating an LLM into Embeetle IDE, giving users better code suggestions, more meaningful error messages, ...

To keep the user's code safe, the LLM should run on his/her local computer. It should even work offline!

nour_oud•5/29/24, 11:40 AM

I think it is a great idea to integrate LLM into Embeetle, but making it work offline will not be easy or possible for everyone because it would require high performance computers. I think it would also be good if you host the LLM model and offer the AI as a service for people who can’t deploy it locally.

Daniel kalu•5/30/24, 1:03 PM

Hey guys currently, I am designing monitoring environmental sensors for a large geographic area. The sensors will collect data such as temperature, humidity, and air quality. Should I use LoRaWAN or NB-IoT for connectivity, considering factors such as device density, coverage, data rate, power consumption, infrastructure costs, and application requirements? Which one would be more suitable for my project to transmit this sensor data?

Joseph Ogbonna•5/30/24, 2:04 PM

If you're trying to find the right connectivity consider the long term value, cost, Scalability and also power. NB IoT will require a SIM and might need more management strategies. Though it has wider coverage. So consider long term cost.

I will advise to use LoRa if the geolocation is limited within a certain region
