ADIMAX78002EVKIT#

Overview

The MAX78002EVKIT# is a comprehensive evaluation platform for the MAX78002, an ultra-low-power microcontoller with a dedicated Hardware Accelerator for Neural Networks. This kit enables developers to implement complex artificial intelligence inferences at the extreme edge with high energy efficiency. It provides access to the dual-core architecture consisting of an ARM Cortex-M4 with FPU and a RISC-V coprocessor.

Why Choose This Part

The board demonstrates the MAX78002's ability to execute AI inferences at a fraction of the power required by traditional DSPs or microcontrollers, cited at 8.5mA at 48MHz for the system. It features integrated peripherals like a digital microphone, camera interface, and various expansion headers to prototype complete system-level solutions.

Applications

Getting Started

Begin by downloading the Maxim Micros SDK which includes the GCC toolchain and necessary drivers for both the Cortex-M4 and RISC-V cores. Use the provided Eclipse-based IDE and explore the extensive library of pre-trained CNN examples for image and voice processing. Connect via the onboard USB-to-UART bridge for debugging and flashing the device.
