WEBINAR: Differentiated Edge AI with OpenFive and CEVA

OpenFive is hosting a webinar with CEVA on November 12^th to talk about how OpenFive’s vision platform, leveraging CEVA vision and AI solutions. Which can get you to a differentiated solution for your product with as much or as little silicon participation on your part as you want. I talked briefly to Jeff VanWashenova (CEVA Sr. Dir of AI and Computer Vision) to get a sense of the opportunity. He sees a lot of interest from system product teams in automotive Tier1s and in other edge applications. These teams want to put differentiated high performance and low power AI at the heart of their edge products. But chip design isn’t their core skill. They need help, with vision, with AI and with a platform and silicon expertise to put the whole thing together. REGISTER HERE to watch the webinar.

OpenFive/CEVA partnership

That’s where the OpenFive and CEVA partnership comes in. CEVA and SiFive (the parent of OpenFive) already have an established partnership to bring AI to mainstream edge markets. CEVA is already well known in intelligent computer vision with their NeuPro architecture for CV, SLAM and wide-angle imaging applications. OpenFive adds to that the SiFive IP platform plus the silicon experience they bring with them in their previous incarnation as OpenSilicon, a full-service ASIC shop.

Between OpenFive and CEVA you have access to a turnkey design solution, all the way through manufacturing, assembly and test. While still being able to enjoy the advantage of RISC-V ISA extensions to optimize performance in the CPU core(s). Plus high performance and low power CV and neural net inferencing. You can develop and optimize your software to a platform customized to your specific needs and optimized for edge constraints.
