Microchip Launches MPLAB® Machine Learning Development Suite to More Easily Incorporate ML Into MCUs and MPUs
07 Setembro 2023 - 9:02AM
Machine Learning (ML) is becoming a standard requirement for
embedded designers working to develop or improve a vast array of
products. Meeting this need, Microchip Technology
(Nasdaq:
MCHP) has launched a complete, integrated workflow for
streamlined ML model development with its new
MPLAB®
Machine Learning Development Suite. This software toolkit
can be utilized across Microchip’s portfolio of microcontrollers
(MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs) to add an ML inference quickly
and efficiently.
“Machine Learning is the new normal for embedded controllers,
and utilizing it at the edge allows a product to be efficient, more
secure and use less power than systems that rely on cloud
communication for processing,” said Rodger Richey, VP of
Microchip’s Development Systems business unit. “Microchip’s unique,
integrated solution is designed for embedded engineers and is the
first to support not just 32-bit MCUs and MPUs, but also 8- and
16-bit devices to enable efficient product development.”
ML uses a set of algorithmic methods to curate patterns from
large data sets to enable decision making. It is typically faster,
more easily updated and more accurate than manual processing. One
example of how this tool will be utilized by Microchip customers is
to enable predictive maintenance solutions to accurately forecast
potential issues with equipment used in a variety of industrial,
manufacturing, consumer and automotive applications.
The MPLAB Machine Learning Development Suite helps engineers
build highly efficient, small-footprint ML models. Powered by
AutoML, the toolkit eliminates many repetitive, tedious and
time-consuming model-building tasks including extraction, training,
validation and testing. It also provides model optimizations so the
memory constraints of MCU and MPUs are respected.
When used in combination with the MPLAB X
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the new toolkit
provides a complete solution that can be easily implemented by
those with little to no ML programming knowledge, which can
eliminate the cost of hiring data scientists. It is also
sophisticated enough for more experienced ML designers to
control.
Microchip also offers the option to bring a model from
TensorFlow Lite and use it in any MPLAB Harmony v3
project, a fully integrated embedded software development framework
that provides flexible and interoperable software modules to
simplify the development of value-added features and reduce a
product’s time to market. In addition, the VectorBlox™ Accelerator
Software Development Kit (SDK) offers the most power-efficient
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based Artificial
Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) inference
with PolarFire® FPGAs.
MPLAB Machine Learning Development Suite provides the tools
necessary for designing and optimizing edge products running ML
inference. Visit Microchip’s Machine Learning

development process while keeping costs down and achieving a
quicker time to market with Microchip’s intuitive ML tools.
Pricing and Availability Pricing varies based
on licensing. A free version of the MPLAB Machine Learning
Development Suite is available for evaluation. For additional
