AI SDK
AI Software Development Kit (AI SDK) is an AI application development environment for Evaluation Board Kit of RZ/V series.
Since it contains Yocto Linux with bootloader, Linux Kernel, Cross Compiler and a complete set of libraries for DRP-AI and graphics, 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 the supported 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 page shown below 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.
For more information, see each AI SDK download page.
