Getting Started

Renesas RZ/V AI Software Development Kit (AI SDK) is the most comprehensive solution for building end-to-end accelerated AI applications.

Getting Started is a complete guide to learn how to run RZ/V AI Applications with RZ/V AI SDK.



Tutorial video will help you understand better.




AI Applications

AI Applications provides the source code, pre-build application binary and pre-trained AI model objects, which allow you to select the application from various use cases, and run it on the board immediately.



Community Applications

In addition to RZ/V AI Applications, there are Community Applications provided by the partner companies and Renesas.
Community Applications are sets of sample applications for RZ/V series and listed in the Community page.



Demo

With the demo binary, users can try the AI Applications without having AI SDK environment.
Download the Demo for your Evaluation Board Kit (EVK) and see each How to Use Guide.
Note If the download link is not available, please refer to link in the latest documentation.
