AI SDK
AI Software Development Kit (AI SDK) is an AI application development environment for RZ/V2L Evaluation Board Kit.
Since it contains Yocto Linux with bootloader, Linux Kernel, Cross Compiler and a complete set of libraries for DRP-AI, graphics and codec, users can develop AI Applications easily and quickly with AI SDK.
In the AI Applications, USB/MIPI camera can be used with Video for Linux 2 (V4L2) API.
AI SDK is specifically made for RZ/V2L Evaluation Board Kit with fixed Linux components. For those of you who would like to customize Linux environment, i.e., change memory map or develop your own board, you need to build the Yocto Linux source code.
Yocto Linux source code is provided as AI SDK Source Code.
Please refer to How to Build AI SDK for more details.
AI SDK has a CUI enviroment and a GUI environment.
Each has the following functions.
*1: There is a limit to the number of AI Applications supported.
To use the CUI environment, see RZ/V2L AI SDK download page.
To use the GUI environment (e2studio), see e2studio for RZ Family download page.
