Processor Details

Application Cores (Cortex-A55)

The four Cortex-A55 cores run at up to 1.8 GHz and support a full Linux distribution. They handle application logic, networking, display output, and pre/post-processing for AI pipelines.

Real-Time Core (Cortex-M33)

The Cortex-M33 subsystem operates independently and can run bare-metal or RTOS firmware via the ALP SDK. It is ideal for:

  • Sensor data acquisition
  • PWM and motor control
  • Safety-critical deterministic tasks

DRP-AI3 Accelerator

The DRP-AI3 engine provides 4 TOPS of dense inference performance and supports common neural network operators. Model conversion is handled through the Renesas DRP-AI Translator toolchain.

Getting Started

  1. Connect the E1M-X V2N to a compatible carrier board via the SODIMM connector.
  2. Flash the Linux BSP to the application cores.
  3. Install the ALP SDK for Cortex-M33 development.
  4. Follow the Quick Start guide to deploy your first AI model.
