Achieving ML and AI with Nordic nRF52840

[umrsraj]

Hi all,

We were trying to add ML and AI features to our nRF52840 SOC, for that we found one link  https://www.nordicsemi.com/News/2021/01/Edge-Inpulse-and-Nordic-partnership and https://www.nordicsemi.com/News/2021/01/Edge-Inpulse-and-Nordic-partnership

 and we have gone through this and concluding that we need to change the provides firmware to use this feature in the custom board(nrf52840) and custom sensors and applications.

finally my question is, can we use same firmware without any change for custom board, custom sensors and custom applications?

Best Regards,

Raj

Hi,

If you use NCS/zephyr then it might work as long as you have all the drivers for the sensors. 

finally my question is, can we use same firmware without any change for custom board, custom sensors and custom applications?

Probably not, It depends on how much differences, if it is the similar sensors then as long as the application is built with the correct board files then it should in theory work. But if there is completely different sensors and application then you will probably have to do some changes. 

You can also check out the forums over at Edge Impulse or getting started guide.

Hi Jonathan LL,

our question is to understand the hardware requirement to run ML program,

suppose if we configure the ML model in the Edge impulse platform as explained by them, and then download in our custom nrf52840 board, whether to run the program do we need another board to be attached to our custom hardware or we can run with out it.

whether we have to buy and attach a different board for interfacing with our nrf52840 custom board to run the program or we can run directly in our custom board,

 we understood that the configuration can be done on the impulse, configuration of the sensors as well as the ML model can be done on the impulse platform as explained on their video and same can be downloaded in our custom board but our question is weather for this program to run do we need a different board to be attach to run with our board or directly we can run it

Best Regards,

Raj.

 Yes, as long as there is enough available space/memory then it should not be a problem.
