Infineon Boss Battle in the AI Arena

Welcome to the Boss Battle in the AI Arena! You have journeyed through PSOC™ Edge City and gained the knowledge to design, build, and deploy AI-powered projects using PSOC™ Edge MCUs. Now it's time to take on Infineon's in a design challenge for the ages.

Meet the Boss

The Infineon Team is group of Infineon engineers who create hands-on projects, tutorials, and code for sensors, MCUs, connectivity, security, power, and IoT using the latest and greatest Infineon technologies.

Beat the Boss

Your challenge is to build a project to help you survive and thrive in PSOC™ Edge City using the PSOC™ Edge 84 AI Kit. You will have 8 weeks to create a project to outwit, outsmart, and outplay the Infineon Team's Survival Sensor Box project. ​

Show us your best futuristic AI project using the PSOC™ Edge AI Kit and software, including DEEPCRAFT™ Studio, in your best cyberpunk way.

Your project should be creative and connected to life in PSOC™ Edge City whether it's a sustainable and cyberpunk light source to help you traverse the city streets and tunnels, a flying friend to deliver assistance through the city, even water-resistant tech gear when you find yourself underground or underwater, or cybernetic detection system that alerts you when the Boss's underlings are near.

The Hardware

Infineon's PSOC™ Edge AI Kit (KIT_PSE84_AI) is the perfect platform for easy prototyping and collecting real-life data to build compelling edge IoT products fast.

This kit features the PSOC™ Edge E84 series MCU, Infineon's high-performance MCU built for the future and a multitude of on-board multimedia, Machine Learning, and connectivity features.

PSOC™ Edge enables this transformation by combining hardware-accelerated neural network compute support with "always-on" low-power operation and high-performance capabilities. This fully integrated microcontroller features right-sized peripherals, on-chip memories, and advanced security with Infineon Edge Protect Category 4 to meet the demands of modern edge AI applications.

The PSOC™ Edge E84 AI kit is pre-programmed with two demos to help you get started with your project:

Voice Assistant: The PDM mic on-board is used to detect wake words and commands that will control an LED.

Gesture Detection: the on-board radar sensor is used to detect different gestures like Push and Swipe Right/ Left/ Up /Down.

(NOTE: Free kits were already given away as part of the PSOC™ Edge City engagement program, but you can still purchase a low-cost kit for this contest. Who doesn't want to one-up the Infineon Bosses with a cool new project for a chance to win great prizes?? Get a kit and get started!)

The Software

ModusToolbox Software

With ModusToolbox™ and DEEPCRAFT™ Studio you can go through the full Machine Learning to Embedded Software flow from data collection and training to reference deployment.

There are various Code Examples to evaluate the PSOC™ Edge E84 AI kit, which familiarizes you with PSOC™ Edge E84 MCU and helps you creates your own design. These examples can be accessed through ModusToolbox™ Project Creator tool.

DEEPCRAFT™ AI Suite

DEEPCRAFT™ AI Suite is a development platform for machine learning on edge devices. This platform will enable you to bring AI into various embedded applications, enhancing functionalities, control, energy efficiency, and privacy. With DEEPCRAFT™ AI, you can benefit from a faster time to market, serving a wide range of applications for global customers.

DEEPCRAFT™ Ready Models

DEEPCRAFT™ Ready Models are the fastest way for Infineon's customers to take AI features into production. These fully tested, market-ready models are designed to give companies a way to add AI into products without developing machine learning models on their own.

DEEPCRAFT™ Ready Models are optimized to work with Infineon's sensors and MCUs.

A helpful tutorial project "Using DEEPCRAFT Ready Models in ModusToolbox" is posted for your use as you develop your project.
